Platinum
is commonly used as a catalyst for hydrogenation, isomerization,
polymerization, and other
reactions. It is also used in auto exhaust mufflers for emissions control
and in various drugs. Because metallic platinum is inert to many chemical
reactions and is thermally stable, it is also commonly used in the laboratory
for alkali fusions.

| WCAS tests for trace amounts of platinum and other rare elements in industrial hygiene samples, silicone polymers, as well as a variety of pharmaceutical, biological, and environmental samples. Platinum requires an aqua regia digest to obtain stable solutions. The detection limit is normally 0.1-0.01 ug/L in solution. |
