TRAINING ON INDUCTIVELY COUPLED PLASMA OPTICAL EMISSION SPECTROSCOPY (ICP-OES)

Inductively Coupled Plasma Optical Emission Spectroscopy (ICP-OES) is a highly sensitive and precise analytical technique used for the detection and quantification of trace metals in various sample matrices. It utilizes a high-temperature plasma to excite atoms and ions, measuring their emitted light at characteristic wavelengths. ICP-OES is widely used in:

  • Environmental analysis
  • Food safety
  • Pharmaceuticals
  • Industrial quality control
