ICP Spectroscopy
In ICP Spectroscopy samples are acid digested and diluted in water and aspirated into a plasma torch. The emitted light is then measured and quantified relative to known standards. ICP is a very versatile spectroscopic technique, capable of analyzing a full spectrum of samples from water samples to dissolved alloys of Steel, Aluminum, Brass, Titanium and Nickel based alloys. ICP Spectroscopy is used to accurately determine the chemical composition of ferrous and nonferrous alloys as well as a variety of other samples and extracts. Our lab currently uses a SpectroFlame M120E spectrometer. The standards used for analyses are traceable to NIST.
