What is ICP-MS?

Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS) is an analytical technique used for elemental analysis. It ionizes a sample with an inductively coupled plasma (ICP) and then uses a mass spectrometer to separate and quantify the ions by their mass-to-charge ratio. It is commonly used for trace element analysis in various fields such as environmental monitoring, geochemistry, food safety, and clinical chemistry.
