**Routine analysis typically refers to the standard and commonly performed tests for a particular sample type. These tests are typically designed to measure a few key parameters that are critical to ensuring the quality of the sample. In the context of HPLC and ICP-MS testing, routine analysis may involve testing for a set of commonly detected compounds or elements that are present in the sample. 

**Advanced analysis typically involves more complex and specialized testing procedures that require additional resources, expertise, and equipment. These tests may be used to identify and quantify a wider range of compounds or elements, or to detect lower concentrations of these substances in the sample. Advanced analysis may also involve the development of new testing methods or the modification of existing methods to better suit the needs of a particular sample type or research question. In the context of HPLC and ICP-MS testing, advanced analysis may involve the use of more sensitive or specific detection methods, or the development of new separation techniques to improve the resolution of complex mixtures.
