ICP-OES spectrometer, also known as Inductively Coupled Plasma Optical Emission Spectrometer, is an instrument used for qualitative and quantitative analysis of metal elements and some non-metallic elements in samples. ‌

The working principle of ICP-OES spectrometer is to use a plasma excitation light source to evaporate and vaporize the sample, dissociate or decompose it into atomic states, and excite atoms and ions to emit light in the light source. By measuring the intensity and wavelength of these spectra, the type and content of elements can be determined. ‌
