The detection limits given below are those attainable in a relatively simple matrix. Detection limits may be higher for individual samples should insufficient sample be available, or if the matrix requires that dilutions be performed during analysis. A detection limit range indicates the lowest and highest detection limits in the associated suite of analytes. A full listing of compounds and detection limits are available from the laboratory upon request. Unless otherwise indicated, analyses were performed at Hill Laboratories, 28 Duke Street, Frankton, Hamilton 3204. Summary of Methods Sample Type: Aqueous Test Method Description Default Detection Limit Sample No 1-3 Heavy metals, dissolved, trace As,Cd,Cr,Cu,Ni,Pb,Zn 0.45µm Filtration, ICP-MS, trace level.

Testing was completed between 06-Jan-2022 and 10-Jan-2022. For completion dates of individual analyses please contact the laboratory. Samples are held at the laboratory after reporting for a length of time based on the stability of the samples and analytes being tested (considering any preservation used), and the storage space available. Once the storage period is completed, the samples are discarded unless otherwise agreed with the customer. Extended storage times may incur additional charges. This certificate of analysis must not be reproduced, except in full, without the written consent of the signatory.
