Speed: New! 8 hour service for heavy metal analyses

Reliability in speed is an important pillar for Primoris and we want to offer our clients the analysis term that they need. As a result of continuous optimizations of our existing analysis offer, we are able to extend on a regular basis the speed of our existing analysis offer.

We are now able to offer an 8h service for the following heavy metals:

• Cadmium (Cd)
• Lead (Pb)
• Mercury (Hg)
• Arsenic (As)
• Inorganic arsenic (As-i)

For other heavy metals we can assist you with a 36h service. Of course the standard analysis term of 3 to 5 working days also remains possible. 

About heavy metals

Heavy metals are present in the soil, but their concentration depends on the impact of human or natural activities that were executed in the past. These heavy metals are being absorbed by plants, but not every plant absorbs the same amout of heavy metals.

The presence of heavy metals has to be checked with the limits that have been established in the European legislation.
