Multi-element urine panels typically involve separate analytical runs—one for trace toxics, another for nutritional elements, potentially a third for implant monitoring markers.
This application note demonstrates how extended dynamic range inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) consolidates these panels into a single two-minute method. The NexION 5000 measures beryllium at 0.0004 µg/L alongside magnesium at mg/L levels using simple 1:10 dilution. The method handles toxic metals (Pb, As, Hg, Cd), essential nutrients (Zn, Cu, Se, Mg), and implant markers like cobalt in one run.
