Preferred label	Inductive coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry (ICP-AES)
Definition	Inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy (ICP-AES), also referred to as inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES), is an analytical technique used for the detection of trace metals. It is a type of emission spectroscopy that uses the inductively coupled plasma to produce excited atoms and ions that emit electromagnetic radiation at wavelengths characteristic of a particular element.[1][2] The intensity of this emission is indicative of the concentration of the element within the sample.
