Inductively Coupled Plasma-Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS)

Inductively Coupled Plasma-Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS) is a powerful analytical technique used for the simultaneous detection and quantification of a wide range of elements in various sample types. ICP-MS combines an inductively coupled plasma (ICP) ion source with a mass spectrometer to determine the elemental composition of a sample. It is especially valuable in environmental analysis, geochemistry, and the study of trace elements in biological samples. ICP-MS provides high sensitivity and precision, making it essential for applications such as environmental monitoring, isotopic analysis, and the detection of contaminants in food and pharmaceuticals. This technique has a broad range of uses in scientific research, quality control, and industrial applications.
