The unit is equipped with an AS-93 autosampler for large numbers of samples. In ICP-OES a sample in solution is introduced into an 8000K argon plasma. The plasma evaporates the solvent, vaporizes the ...

Inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) is undoubtedly the fastest-growing trace element technique ... Even though it can broadly determine the same suite of elements as other atomic ...

and in archaeology was replaced in the 1980s by atomic absorption. This, in turn, has been largely superseded by another emission technique, but this time using an inductively coupled plasma (ICP) ...
