What does ICP-OES stand for?
ICP-OES stands for Inductively Coupled Plasma-Optical Emission Spectroscopy. It is an analytical technique used for the simultaneous measurement of a wide range of elements present in a sample. In this method, a high-temperature plasma is used to atomize and ionize the sample, while an optical emission spectrometer measures the characteristic wavelengths of light emitted by the excited atoms and ions. By comparing these wavelengths to a known standard, the concentration of various elements in the sample can be determined. ICP-OES is widely used in environmental analysis, clinical research, and various industries for its ability to provide fast and accurate results for multi-element analysis.
