The new guidelines set by the United States Pharmacopeia (USP) have pushed the pharmaceutical and nutraceutical industries to provide accurate, quantifiable results for metal analysis in drugs, pharmaceutical substances and raw materials.

USP <232> outlines new limits in pharmaceutical products for arsenic, cadmium, lead, and mercury. The procedures forcus on the use of ICP-MS for the analysis of low level impurities. ICP-MS instrumentation, along with accurate ICP-MS standards, allow for increased efficiency and accuracy of the analysis necessary to comply with the new regulations. In addition to the changes enacted by the USP.
