OCEAMO ICP-MS COMPLETE REEF LABORATORY ANALYSIS

Because every water analysis is only as good as the laboratory behind it.

When you're making decisions that affect thousands of pounds worth of corals, accuracy isn't a luxury—it's essential.

Developed by Dr. Christoph Denk, professional analytical chemist and lifelong reef aquarist, Oceamo has earned a worldwide reputation for analytical accuracy, continual innovation and scientific excellence.

Trusted by internationally respected reefkeeping experts including Andrew Sandler (Polo Reef) and Randy Holmes-Farley, and chosen as the laboratory behind the Reef Moonshiners Method, Oceamo has become the laboratory of choice for reefkeepers who demand the very best from their water analysis.

Why ICP-MS?

ICP-MS allows ultra-trace elements to be measured at true reef-relevant concentrations, providing the sensitivity needed to make accurate and confident adjustments.

This means:

✔ More accurate measurement of ultra-trace elements

✔ Earlier detection of low-level contaminants

✔ Safer, more precise correction of deficiencies

✔ Greater confidence when making dosing decisions

With detection limits up to 10,000 times more sensitive than traditional ICP-OES, Oceamo ICP-MS can reliably measure elements such as Selenium, Chromium, Cobalt, Copper and Nickel, together with toxic heavy metals including Mercury, Lead, Thallium, Bismuth, Thorium and Uranium, even at extremely low concentrations.

This is not just ICP-MS

Oceamo doesn't rely on a single analytical technique.

Every ICP-MS analysis combines multiple laboratory methods to build one of the most comprehensive reef water analyses available, including:

✔ ICP-MS (Mass Spectrometry)

✔ Anion Chromatography

✔ Cation Chromatography

✔ Direct Orthophosphate (PO₄) Measurement

✔ KH Titration

✔ Conductometry (Salinity)

✔ FREE Organic Load Analysis (SAC254)

✔ FREE FULL RO/DI Water Analysis

✔ 0.22 micron sample filter included – first introduced by Oceamo

✔ Comprehensive handwritten interpretation and recommendations by Dr. Christoph Denk

Turn Analysis Into Action – Exclusive Oceamo Custom Elements

Your Oceamo ICP-MS analysis doesn't just identify deficiencies—it also provides the foundation for Oceamo Custom Elements, an optional bespoke trace element correction service available following your analysis.

Using your ICP-MS results, Oceamo calculates exactly what your aquarium requires and produces a tailor-made Custom Elements mix containing your individual trace element corrections together with exactly 100 days of tailored ultra-trace element supplementation.

Custom Elements is designed to work alongside your existing reefkeeping method. Whether you use Balling, two-part, three-part, four-part, a calcium reactor, kalkwasser or any other supplementation system, your major element dosing remains unchanged while your trace element programme is continually refined.

With each subsequent Oceamo ICP-MS analysis, you have the option to purchase a newly refined Custom Elements mix, allowing your trace element programme to become increasingly tailored to your aquarium's individual requirements.

No more guessing which individual trace element supplements to buy.

Just a professionally designed trace element programme, continually refined with every Oceamo ICP-MS analysis.

Independently Verified Accuracy

Oceamo continually pioneers new standards in reef aquarium laboratory analysis.

The laboratory voluntarily participates in independent external proficiency testing, demonstrating the accuracy and repeatability of its analytical methods and giving you confidence that every analysis is accurate, consistent and repeatable.
