What is Inductively Coupled Plasma (ICP) Analysis?
Inductively Coupled Plasma (ICP) analysis is an analytical technique used to detect and measure the concentration of elements in samples. It utilizes a high-temperature plasma source to ionize the sample, allowing for the detection of various elements through mass spectrometry or optical emission spectrometry. In the context of nanotechnology, ICP analysis is essential for characterizing the composition, purity, and elemental distribution in nanomaterials.
