Never used Epsom salts.What salt mix?
Ever use a lot of Epsom salt for magnesium?
Maybe it’s a typo. Seems very high and chloride is not correspondingly low to maintain charge balance..
Any thoughts, @Christoph ?

Hope its a typo....I see no reason for it to be that high. Let’s see if Christoph can double check that it is not an error. I don’t know if it is a problem or not.

Thanks Christoph.Hello!
I have checked the raw data, your sample is very rich in sulfates. There is no indication of any measurement error.
Just to make sure: We do supply a stabilizer solution with the sampling kit that needs to be added to the blue capped vial. If this solution would get added to the white capped tube by mistake, this would result in elevated sulfate levels.
@Johnic can you rule that out 100%?
Otherwise reasons for elevated sulfate are usually: 1) Inhomogenous salt mixes or salts with elevated sulfate 2) excessive dosing of epsom salts 3) usage of sulfur denitrators.
All the best,
Christoph
Triton test showed 1169 mg/l.How high has been sulfur on previous ICP tests?
best regards, Christoph
Triton test showed 1169 mg/l.
Where can it be coming from? I have a dino infection currently. Can it be from that ?Triton measures the atom sulfur (S) while we directly measure the sulfate anion (SO4).
You can calculate sulfate from sulfur using the following equation 3 * [sulfur value] = [sulfate value]. In your case already the triton test indicated elevated sulfur/sulfates. The 1169 mg/l of sulfur corresponds to 3507 mg/l of sulfate.

i dont see any connection to the dino outbreak.Where can it be coming from? I have a dino infection currently. Can it be from that ?
I would get freshly mixed saltwater tested. If yoou are not dosing magnesium sulfate or using a sulfur denitrator this is the most likely cause.
Thanks again !i dont see any connection to the dino outbreak.

Ok, cant wait to see the next icp-ms test.I agree,
I'm also not sure if it is a problem or not.
