*Note: Difference from Acid Solutes. Purity of the diatomaceous earth (Fossil Shell four) was confirmed by MALDI mass spectrometry. indicating that the material is "virtually free from any other form of contamination. MALDI is a technique in which matrix is used to assist ionization of molecules on the surface of the material, caused by a blast from a UV laser. This analysis confirms purity and suggests that even the above-listed trace elements are not readily ionized and volatilized from the surface.
