ICP (Inductively Coupled Plasma) Spectroscopy

Inductively Coupled Plasma (ICP) Spectroscopy is an analytical technique used to detect and measure the concentration of elements in a sample. It works by ionizing the sample with a high-temperature plasma—a super hot, ionized gas generated by electromagnetic induction. As the sample's elements are excited in the plasma, they emit characteristic light wavelengths. A detector measures this light, allowing scientists to identify and quantify each element precisely. ICP Spectroscopy is highly sensitive, accurate, and widely used in environmental analysis, metallurgy, and pharmaceutical testing to analyze elements at trace levels.
