Concept: Inductive coupled plasma mass spectrometryscopy (ICP-MS) in the analyticaltechnique vocabulary

Concept URI http://dd.eionet.europa.eu/vocabulary/aq/analyticaltechnique/ICP-MS
Preferred label Inductive coupled plasma mass spectrometryscopy (ICP-MS)
Definition Inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) is a type of mass spectrometry which is capable of detecting metals and several non-metals at concentrations as low as one part in 1012 (part per trillion). This is achieved by ionizing the sample with inductively coupled plasma and then using a mass spectrometer to separate and quantify those ions.
