🌊 Oceamo Organo-MS: The First Organic Substances Water Analysis for Saltwater, Freshwater, Ponds & KOI Systems 🌊

A World-First for the Aquarium Industry

Oceamo Organo-MS is not just another water test. It’s the first-ever analysis service designed specifically for aquariums, ponds, and KOI systems that detects and identifies a wide range of organic substances—including both essential compounds and harmful pollutants—at a level of detail never before available in the hobby.

From amino acids and vitamins to toxins, pesticides, pharmaceutical residues, PFAS, and environmental pollutants, Organo-MS reveals what was previously invisible in your water—whether you keep a reef tank, a freshwater aquarium, or a KOI pond.

Using cutting-edge liquid chromatography (LC) combined with high-resolution Orbitrap mass spectrometry (MS)—technology previously only available in advanced research laboratories—Organo-MS brings a new dimension of water analysis to the aquarium industry.

Organo-MS complements Oceamo’s ICP-OES and ICP-MS analyses—together, they provide the most complete, detailed picture of your system’s water chemistry.

What Can Organo-MS Detect?

✅ Amino acids and vitamins – For precise, targeted dosing.
✅ Toxins – Including marine toxins like palytoxin (from Palythoa corals), which can pose a risk to corals, fish, and invertebrates in reef systems.
✅ Contaminants – Pesticides, herbicides, pharmaceutical residues, PFAS, and more.
✅ Hidden pollutants – Plasticisers, flame retardants, sunscreen chemicals, and environmental toxins.
✅ Unexpected issues – Through broad-spectrum, non-targeted screening across 50,000+ substances.

Organo-MS reports over 100 targeted compounds and flags additional substances through non-targeted screening.

Why Choose Organo-MS?

🌿 Organo-MS Complements ICP Testing by Adding Organic Insight
ICP-OES and ICP-MS provide essential data on inorganic elements, but they cannot identify specific organic substances. Organo-MS bridges this gap—detecting and quantifying organic compounds for the first time in aquarium water analysis. Together, these tests provide a more complete picture of your system’s water chemistry than ever before.

🧪 Preventative Care and Diagnostics
Use Organo-MS as a diagnostic tool when ICP-OES and ICP-MS don’t explain problems, or as a regular health check for peace of mind—keeping your aquarium, pond, or KOI system in peak condition.

Real-World Examples of Detected Substances

Organo-MS can detect:
• Pesticides (e.g., Fipronil, Thiacloprid, Azoxystrobin)
• Plasticisers (e.g., Dibutylphthalate, Bisphenylphthalate)
• Sunscreen chemicals (e.g., Oxybenzone, Octinoxate)
• Pharmaceutical residues (e.g., Ciprofloxacin HCl, Metronidazole)
• Marine toxins (e.g., Palytoxin from Palythoa corals)
• And many more.

How Do the Results Work?

Your Organo-MS report includes:
🔎 Targeted screening – Exact concentrations (in µg/L) for known substances like amino acids, vitamins, and contaminants.
🔍 Non-targeted screening – A summary showing the number of unexpected organic compounds detected. This count helps you spot trends or changes over time—for example, after adding a new product, performing maintenance, or making changes to your system. It’s a powerful way to detect unseen risks in your system that standard tests might miss.

How to Send Your Sample (UK Customers)

For all UK reef keepers, aquarists, pond and KOI keepers, Organo-MS samples are sent directly to Reef Quest Ltd. We forward them to Oceamo’s lab in Austria completely free of charge—just like we do for all ICP-OES and ICP-MS analyses.

📦 All samples received at Reef Quest before 2pm on Wednesday will be sent to the Oceamo lab that same day.

It’s as simple as that—  no hidden postage fees, no extra steps.

🌿 It’s the Perfect Complement to ICP Testing

Organo-MS helps you build a clearer, more complete picture of your water chemistry than ever before—giving you the knowledge to maintain a healthier, more stable system.
