ICP-OES Spectrometers

Many aspects of our lives today rely on elemental analysis. A number of industries producing raw materials or processing raw materials require reliable quality control. These industries often use spectral analysis instruments as part of their process monitoring. To meet their constantly changing requirements, research and development departments require flexible analytical techniques. In addition, prior to the deposit or release of waste into the environment, waste and wastewater must be checked for compliance with national regulations.

The Inductively Coupled Plasma Optical Emission Spectroscopy (ICP-OES) method has become the best method for routine analysis of liquids and materials in liquid form. Its origin lies in so-called spectroscopes and spectrographs that allow visual evaluation of spectral lines on a film, which required much experience and time in order to obtain reliable results.
