Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS)
Enviro Test Construct’s ICP-MS systems deliver ultra-trace detection of metals and contaminants in soil, water, and construction sites.
Overview
At Enviro Test Construct, we provide state-of-the-art Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS) solutions tailored for environmental site assessments and contamination detection in construction. ICP-MS offers ultra-sensitive trace metal analysis across various matrices, from soil and sediment to groundwater and industrial runoff. Our systems are built for high throughput, exceptional accuracy, and full regulatory compliance—ideal for both on-site investigations and certified laboratory use. Headquartered in Miami, Florida, we support clients throughout North America with innovative environmental testing products that combine advanced technology, expert support, and powerful analytics. By leveraging our strategic collaborations with GAO Tek and GAO RFID, we ensure our ICP-MS solutions remain adaptable, precise, and deeply integrated into today’s fast-paced construction and remediation projects.

Case Studies
A real estate redevelopment firm employed our ICP-MS units to detect elevated levels of chromium and arsenic at a former tannery site. Our system’s speed and sensitivity enabled accurate hotspot mapping and successful regulatory approval for residential conversion.
Enviro Test Construct’s ICP-MS solution was deployed in a state-led initiative to monitor heavy metal concentrations in marine ecosystems affected by urban runoff. The system’s rapid data integration with GIS tools allowed for better decision-making on mitigation zones.
In partnership with a provincial environmental agency, our ICP-MS technology was used to monitor post-mining metal leachate levels. The cloud-based reporting system allowed stakeholders to access compliance reports in real time, streamlining regulatory approvals.
