Inductively Coupled Plasma Emission Spectroscopy (ICP-OES) - ToronICP™ 700T
Inductively Coupled Plasma Emission Spectroscopy (ICP-OES) is a high-performance analytical technique used for fast, accurate multi-element analysis across industrial, environmental, and research laboratories. In inductively coupled plasma emission spectroscopy, samples are introduced into a high-temperature inductively coupled plasma, where atoms and ions are excited and emit element-specific light that is measured to determine precise elemental composition.
This advanced inductively coupled plasma spectrophotometer combines a stable solid-state RF power supply, automatic impedance matching, and an achromatic optical system to ensure consistent plasma conditions and low spectral interference. Designed to support both routine testing and advanced analytical work, the ToronICP™ 700T delivers dependable, laboratory-grade results while remaining intuitive and approachable for users new to inductively coupled plasma analysis.

Theory
Inductively Coupled Plasma (ICP) is a high-temperature ionized gas used as an energy source for elemental analysis. In inductively coupled plasma emission spectroscopy (ICP-OES), argon gas is energized by a radio-frequency electromagnetic field to generate a stable plasma without electrodes.
Liquid samples are converted into a fine aerosol and introduced into the plasma, where temperatures can exceed 10,000 K. At this temperature, elements in the sample become excited and emit light at element-specific wavelengths. An inductively coupled plasma spectrophotometer detects this emitted light to identify and quantify multiple elements simultaneously.
ICP-OES provides fast, accurate multi-element analysis with high sensitivity, low chemical interference, and a wide linear measurement range. This makes it a reliable technique for environmental testing, metals analysis, industrial quality control, and scientific research.
