ICP-OES Laboratory

The ICP-OES (Inductively Coupled Plasma-Optical Emission Spectrometer) is a rapid technique which can sequentially analyze about 70 chemical elements at trace, minor and major concentration levels. ICP-OES is very effective for environmental analysis because it can measure a variety of samples. Calibration range is from ppb to % grade. ICP-OES is very important technique for determining trace earth elements. Each element has specific energy levels and wavelengths which can make emissions on these energy levels. Measuring wavelength and emission intensity, elements and their quantity in one sample can be determined.

In our institute a Perkin Elmer Optima 2000 DV ICP-OES equipment is installed. The main components of the ICP-OES are listed as below:

• RF Generator
• Peristaltic pump
• Nebulizer
• Spray chamber
• Injector
• Torch
• Optic spectrometer
