Inductively Coupled Plasma – Optical Emission Spectrometry

About this Service

Inductively Coupled Plasma – Optical Emission Spectrometry (ICP-OES) is a powerful analytical technique used for the detection and quantification of chemical elements. This method employs inductively coupled plasma to produce excited atoms and ions, which emit electromagnetic radiation at wavelengths characteristic of each element.

  • Simultaneous Elemental Analysis: ICP-OES allows for the simultaneous detection of multiple elements, including Manganese, Iron, Copper, Zinc, Barium, Cadmium, Lead, Nickel, Selenium, Arsenic, and more.
  • High Sensitivity and Precision: This technique provides highly sensitive and precise measurements, making it ideal for trace element analysis in various sample types.
  • Versatility: ICP-OES is applicable to a wide range of fields, including environmental monitoring, industrial quality control, and research in materials science and chemistry.

ICP-OES is essential for ensuring the quality and safety of products, monitoring environmental pollutants, and conducting advanced research. Its ability to provide accurate and reliable elemental analysis makes it a cornerstone of modern analytical chemistry.
