Presentation Topic │ CRM-Based ICP-MS Analysis

At this event, Young In ACE delivered a presentation titled:

“CRM Analysis Using ACE 3000 ICP-MS”

In recent years, increasing concerns over food safety and the growing impact of environmental pollution have significantly raised the importance of heavy metal analysis in food and seafood.

Why ICP-MS Matters

Heavy metal analysis is not simply about detection—it requires:

•  - The ability to measure extremely low concentration levels
•  - High accuracy in quantitative analysis

In particular, for food and environmental samples, toxic elements such as:

•  - Lead (Pb)
•  - Cadmium (Cd)
•  - Chromium (Cr)
•  - Arsenic (As)

What is ACE 3000 ICP-MS?

The ACE 3000 ICP-MS (Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometer) is an elemental analysis system that ionizes samples using high-temperature plasma and detects elements through mass spectrometry.

Key Features

•  - Ultra-trace elemental analysis (ppt level)
•  - Capability to analyze a wide range of sample types
•  - High sensitivity and high precision

CRM-Based Analytical Results

In the presentation, analytical results based on NIST certified reference materials (CRM) were introduced using the ACE 3000 ICP-MS.

Key Findings

•  - Stable quantitative results for major heavy metals (Pb, Cd, Cr, As)
•  - High accuracy and reliability compared to certified values
•  - Detection limits at the ppt (10⁻¹²) level

These results demonstrate that the system is capable of 

Applications in Food and Environmental Analysis

The presentation highlighted a key takeaway:

ICP-MS is an essential analytical tool for food and environmental analysis.

It is particularly applicable in:

•  - Food safety monitoring
•  - Heavy metal analysis in seafood
•  - Environmental contamination analysis
•  - Quality control
