In ICP-OES a sample in solution is introduced into an 8000K argon plasma. The plasma evaporates the solvent, vaporizes the sample, atomizes the sample, and thermally excites the valence electrons of ...

ICP-OES is a formidable device for elemental assessment due to its capacity for fast multi-elemental analysis, elevated sensitivity, and a broad linear dynamic analysis range. This prowess means ...

Historically, the preferred detector technologies for OES were either photomultiplier tubes (PMTs) or charge-coupled devices (CCDs). PMTs are vacuum tubes that accelerate and amplify the generated ...
