Total Recoverable Selenium (Se) Analysis via ICP-QQQ-MS with EPA 3050B Digestion

The contract seeks a subcontractor to perform total recoverable selenium analysis in tissue samples using inductively coupled plasma triple quadrupole mass spectrometry following EPA Method 3050B digestion, specifically tailored for accurate quantification in high-salinity matrices. The analytical approach ensures precise detection and measurement of selenium concentrations in complex biological samples where salt interference could compromise traditional methods, making this methodology critical for environmental or toxicological assessments in marine or brackish environments. The work requires specialized instrumentation and expertise in sample preparation, calibration, and data validation to meet rigorous accuracy and precision standards. This subcontract, posted on June 18, 2026, with a response deadline of July 2, 2026, falls under NAICS code 541380 for Other Scientific and Technical Consulting Services and is issued by the State of Utah through its internal agency system.
