Description
Trace elemental analyzers are used to identify inorganic elements at ppm to sub-ppt levels and are used by scientists in environmental, industrial and health markets. Heavy metal content can be determined using atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS), inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES) , inductively coupled plasma-mass spectroscopy (ICP-MS), glow discharge mass spectrometry (GD-MS) or traditional chemical analysis. Choice of a particular device depends on the intended use.
