Basics of Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry
ICP-MS, Inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry measures the mass by ionizing elements using high-temperature plasma generated from argon gas. This enables qualitative and quantitative analysis of extremely small amounts of elements in samples. ICP-MS contributes to quality control as well as research and development of pharmaceuticals, foods, cellular medium and environmental testing. This content introduces the basic principles of ICP-MS and its tips for successful elemental analysis.
