ICP (Inductively Coupled Plasma) Analysis
ICP (Inductively Coupled Plasma) analysis provides fast identification and detection of trace metals content in chemical and petroleum samples. ICP instruments are often combined with mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) for achieving even lower levels of detection and measurement of trace and ultra-trace metals. Trace metals detected and measured by ICP and ICP-MS:
Aluminium, Arsenic, Boron, Barium, Beryllium, Bismuth
Calcium, Cadmium, Cerium, Cobalt, Chromium, Cesium, Copper
Dysprosium, Erbium, Europium, Gold, Gallium, Germanium
Iron, Iodine, Indium, Iridium, Lead, Lithium
Mercury, Magnesium, Manganese, Molybdenum
Sodium, Nickel, Potassium, Phosphorus, Palladium, Platinum
Rubidium, Rhenium, Rhodium, Ruthenium
Silver, Sulphur, Antimony, Scandium, Selenium, Silicon
Tin, Tantalum, Thorium, Titanium ,Thallium
Vanadium, Tungsten, Yttrium, Ytterbium, Zinc
And other metals and metal species
Inductively Coupled Plasma Optical Emission Spectroscopy (ICP-OES Analysis) ICP-OES is a trace-level, elemental analysis technique that uses the emission spectra of a sample to identify, and quantify the elements present. Samples are introduced into the plasma in a process that desolates, ionises, and excites them. The constituent elements can be identified by their characteristic emission lines, and quantified by the intensity of the same lines.
