Inductively Coupled Plasma – Optical Emission Spectroscopy (ICP-OES) is a highly precise analytical technique used to detect and quantify trace elements and metals in a wide range of samples. By using an inductively coupled plasma source, the sample is excited to emit light at characteristic wavelengths for each element. The emitted light is measured by an optical spectrometer, enabling accurate multi-element analysis with high sensitivity, speed, and reliability. ICP-OES is widely used in environmental testing, food safety, metallurgy, pharmaceuticals, and industrial quality control.
Key Offerings:
Multi-Element Detection – Simultaneous analysis of multiple metals and trace elements.
High Sensitivity & Accuracy – Detects elements at parts-per-billion (ppb) levels.
Fast Turnaround – Rapid analysis with minimal sample preparation.
Wide Sample Compatibility – Suitable for liquids, solids, and digested materials.
Regulatory Compliance Testing – Meets ISO, ASTM, EPA, BIS, and FSSAI standards.
Custom Analytical Solutions – Tailored testing protocols for specific industry needs.
Environmental Analysis
Testing water, soil, and air for heavy metals and pollutants.
Pharmaceutical Quality Control
Elemental impurity analysis as per pharmacopeia guidelines.
Food & Beverage Testing
Detecting trace metals in raw materials and finished products.
Mining & Metallurgy
Determining ore composition and metal content.
Applications
ICP-OES can detect elements at concentrations as low as parts-per-billion (ppb), depending on the element and sample matrix.
It can test liquids, solids, slurries, and digested samples from a variety of industries including environmental, food, metal, and pharmaceutical sectors.
While both use plasma for atomization and excitation, ICP-OES measures optical emission from excited atoms, whereas ICP-MS detects ions by mass spectrometry, offering even lower detection limits.
