Purity and quantity is $250 per sample (1 unit) and raw powder purity is $200 for 50 mg, with results in 3 to 5 business days. Send the material sealed and labeled, with the label claim and the form it contains.
No. The $250 test covers identity, purity and quantity by ICP-MS for zinc. Full testing to the USP Zinc Carbonate monograph is available and quoted.
Basic zinc carbonate is a mixed hydroxide and carbonate with variable composition, so the USP states its content as zinc oxide equivalent. ICP-MS measures zinc, which converts to that basis.
No. Zinc carbonate turns into zinc oxide when heated, but as received it contains carbonate and hydroxide, so its zinc per gram is lower.
