Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS) is a highly sensitive elemental analysis technique that determines trace (ppb and ppt) and major concentrations of the sample elements. While it is used to determine trace multi-elemental and isotopic concentrations in liquid, solid, and gaseous samples, it is most frequently used for total quantification of trace metal analysis in liquid samples. It is a high-resolution technique for the quantitative analysis and speciation studies of materials, from superalloys to high-purity materials in a wide range of industries from semiconductors, geology, pharmaceuticals, aerospace, oil & gas, food, and agriculture.
In ICP-MS, an inductively coupled plasma (ICP) uses argon gas plasma to decompose the sample into its constituent atoms or singly-charged ions. These ions are then directed to the mass spectrometer (MS), where they are separated based on the ion’s mass to charge ratio (m/z), and each mass range is filtered sequentially. The electron multiplier detects the ions, and mass spectra are displayed. The concentration of the elements is determined by comparing the intensity of the ion signal with the standards.

Elemental analysis with inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS), including sample prep, starts from $400/sample.
Due to its high sensitivity, inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) is the preferred technique for detecting and analyzing trace amounts to major concentrations of all elements. Other uses include trace level impurities detection, heavy metal speciation studies in pharmaceuticals, metals analysis in wafer surfaces, etc.
ICP elemental analysis involves ionization of samples by extremely hot plasma. These excited ions are detected by either a mass spectroscopy unit inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) or via atomic emission spectroscopy (ICP-AES). While ICP-AES can detect in the ppb range, ICP-MS can detect much lower concentrations down to ppt (parts per trillion).

In ICP-MS, the mass of an atom is measured by mass spectrometry. In contrast, in ICP-OES, results are obtained by measuring the excited atoms and ions at the characteristic wavelength for the specimen being measured.
