Plasma Spectrometry

Plasma spectrometry is an analytical technique that uses a high-temperature plasma—an extremely hot, ionized gas—to analyze the composition of a sample. When a sample is introduced into the plasma, it ionizes, releasing energy at specific wavelengths unique to each element. A spectrometer then measures these wavelengths to identify and quantify the elements present. This method is highly sensitive and fast, making it ideal for detecting trace elements in various materials such as metals, environmental samples, and biological tissues. Overall, plasma spectrometry provides precise elemental analysis by harnessing the energetic properties of plasma.
