Applications of ICP and DCP Atomic Emission Spectroscopy

The applications of plasma emission spectrometry are very broad. The technique is used for clinical chemistry, biochemistry, environmental chemistry, geology, specialty and bulk chemical production, materials characterization of metal alloys, glasses, ceramics, polymers and composite materials, atmospheric science, forensic science, conservation and restoration of artworks by museums, agricultural science, food and nutrition science, industrial hygiene, and many other areas. The versatility of plasma emission spectrometry comes from its ability to determine a large number of elements rapidly in a wide variety of sample matrices. 

The strength of plasma emission spectrometry is rapid, multielement qualitative and quantitative analyses. ICP emission spectrometry has a linear dynamic range of four to six orders of magnitude, meaning that elements from trace level to major constituents can 

Biological and clinical chemistry applications of plasma emission spectrometry include determinations of those metals required for proper functioning of living systems.
