ICP-OES for liquid Sodium Silicate, would someone run a test for me?

30 October 2020 0 2K Report

Does anyone have an ICP-OES analysis system who would be willing to look at the sodium silicate solution I have created from agricultural wastes? I simply like to know sodium to silica ratio and contaminates, which I believe the ICP can do in a single run. Please.
