There are several ICP-based techniques, each suited for specific applications:
ICP-OES (Optical Emission Spectroscopy): This technique is used for the quantitative analysis of elements in a sample by observing the light emitted from the plasma. ICP-MS (Mass Spectrometry): This method is used for detecting trace elements and isotopic analysis by measuring the mass-to-charge ratio of ions. ICP-AES (Atomic Emission Spectroscopy): Similar to ICP-OES, but focuses more on atomic emissions for identifying and quantifying elements.
