This panel quantifies the seventeen metals on the CAM 17 list, the standard priority-metals suite used in environmental assessment: antimony, arsenic, barium, beryllium, cadmium, chromium, cobalt, copper, lead, mercury, molybdenum, nickel, selenium, silver, thallium, vanadium, and zinc. Sixteen are analyzed by EPA 6010D; mercury runs by EPA 7470A. Results are reported individually in parts per million with each metal's own detection and reporting limit.

Read the detection limits before you order. The reporting limits on this panel range from 0.0002 to 0.01 ppm depending on the metal. Those limits are appropriate for identifying contamination. Several chronic freshwater aquatic-life criteria — for lead, cadmium, and silver in particular — sit at or below them, so a non-detect on this panel means no significant contamination, not zero, and not compliance with a chronic criterion.
