I have collected and sent samples for each test yesterday and will post the results for both as soon as I get them for gee-wiz comparison.

I will post :

-date time results received
-results of test
-correction advice
-all data I get from both

The purpose is to compare each test.

I bought the ICP-Analysis from Amazon mistaking it for actual Triton Labs test. I then bought the Triton test from BRS and decided this would be a good opportunity to evaluate ICP-Analysis as I have seen questions about this test on the boards.

Just FYI ICP-Analysis doesn't provide corrective advice. They only provide you with your results as well and values found in different oceans around the world for each parameter.

We can provide corrective advice. :)

Awesome; I just found out about the alternative a couple days ago and wish I'd know before submitting my last Triton results so I could have done both.

Interesting to see your results. At some point when life isn't crazy and I don't steal my free time from looking under the microscope I will write out a thread on all the data I gathered from several online vendors. I need to set aside a few hours to do so.

I sent mine in from Florida and got it back in 3 days. Not to hijack, but this is what the results look like.


Do you know what's the explanation for negative values over several elements? The lowest should be zero!!!
