inductively coupled plasma–optical emission spectrometry
Measures the elemental composition of a sample with respect to metals and selected non-metals by ionizing the sample by means of inductively coupled plasma. The ionized sample atoms emit electromagnetic radiation characteristic of the elements in the sample. The spectral intensity of this emitted radiation is measured to quantify elemental composition of the sample.
