Inductively Coupled Plasma Spectroscopy (ICP):

Most suited for determining ratios of the bulk materials in an alloy.

ICP is a bulk quantitative analysis method for major and trace elements with high accuracy of determination in a wide range of samples.

Relevant Items for ICP Analysis:

• High purity materials
• Sputtering Targets
• Metal alloys

Advantages:

• Up to 70 elements can be simultaneously determined

Disadvantages:

• The sample has to be dissolved in acid so the analysis can be undertaken on a liquid sample.
• Common matrix elements can interfere with the determination of some elements.
