analysing an unknown solution - (Feb/25/2013 )
Dear all,
will you kindly help me in this ???
do you know a lab that offers such service in analysing an unknown sloution and knowing the concentrations of each component ??
i know this is done by means of analytical chemistry ,,, like LC-MS ...
and we should provide a case histroy (i think) ??? not sure ...
many thanks ...
Country you are in would help...
Local Universities with a chemistry department should be able to help, at least to point you in the right direction, if they can't do it themselves.
What do you exactly want to know? Inorganics, e.g. heavy metals, are easy to analyse by ICP or AAS. IC is common for nitrates, ammonia, phosphates, chloride, fluoride, etc. Exact organic compounds can be tricky to analyse if you don't know what are you looking after or if you have a complex solution.

forgive my extra-late reply ... thanks for passing
i am from Jordan, but was asked about this from UAE ...
they were interested if there is any international lab that could perform such analysis..

thank you so much ... actually they want to know what was a "X solution" that is being given to equine and it remarkably enhanced their performance ...
knowing what you kindly mentioned above, they should then provide any hint of the solution ...
Ah, in that case you probably want a lab that does drug testing for horses - the national equestrian association could probably guide you in the right direction.

are you referring to a "milkshake"?
