Just curious on the best options for ICP analysis in the states? I have seen some that ship overseas, and I am a little hesitant on those. But if one of those EU options is truly the best, then I will roll with it.

Because I routinely perform water testing and I have not encountered an analysis that doesn’t have a hold time or preservation requirement. I understand this is hobby grade testing and that isn’t really feasible, but the lab being closer can’t hurt in that context.What makes you hesitant?
For what it is worth one doesn't need an ICP test. Could always pocket the money and let the display and your tests guide you.

Need is debatable. But in my case I am curious about the marine pure blocks I have in the sump and if I have elevated aluminum.
Triton typically gets the results back very quickly. Since you're in HB they would get the sample at their LA office the next day and often have the results back to you the day after that. So if you were to drop the sample off at the post office today, you could get results as soon as this Thursday.Because I routinely perform water testing and I have not encountered an analysis that doesn’t have a hold time or preservation requirement.

I had seen them and was going to check where the lab was, but figured I would see what R2R had to say first.Triton typically gets the results back very quickly.

I've seen that also and a good point, I will look into this further next round, but this is honestly the first one I've ever tried so I am going only off reviews. Thank you for this information tho I will definitely consider it next round.The "run from ICP-Analysis" thing seems to date back to several years ago when their testing was, umm, questionable.
They revamped their testing methodology about a year ago, and I've done a couple side-by-side comparisons with ATI results since then. All have lined up well, and ICP-Analysis is in the States, and cheaper. So, I mean... It's your money. Do what you want to do.
That's true..good pointICP Analysis is a MAJOR SPONSOR of MACNA this year.
I can just imagine the chatter if their results were not accurate.

Is it? You think MACNA ran tests for accuracy before accepting sponsorship money?That's true..good point
I dont know for sure, but worth looking into I can only see for myself and go off informationfrom others, I wasn't even aware of the company until it was mentioned, also why I went with ATI. I didnt want to tell anyone they are wrong on something i have no experience with. I've never icp tested in 20years. I'm only doing it because all the hype has me scared lol I just want to try it and get both my systems checked bi-annually to see if maybe it helps me. I don't really care about the company only the results..Is it? You think MACNA ran tests for accuracy before accepting sponsorship money?
