Integrated monitoring of metals speciation, organic contaminants and microplastics in waters (ICP-MS/MS + LC/GC-MS)

We offer advanced analytical capacity for water monitoring, combining ICP-MS/ICP-MS/MS (ultra-trace metals/metalloids, interference control, isotope strategies) with hyphenation/speciation (HPLC–ICP-MS, GC–ICP-MS) to resolve chemical forms and transformation pathways. In parallel, we support targeted and screening approaches for organic contaminants (e.g., pharmaceuticals, pesticides, PFAS/industrial chemicals where applicable to partner instrumentation) using LC/GC-MS capabilities within the consortium.
For microplastics, we contribute to the chemical dimension: assessing particle-associated contaminant loads, leaching/adsorption tests, and integrating results with particle identification performed by partners (µFTIR/Raman, pyrolysis-GC-MS). We deliver validated SOPs, uncertainty evaluation, inter-lab comparability, data quality plans, and datasets ready for exposure/risk assessment and regulatory translation.
