Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS) was developed as a commercial analytical technique in the early 1980’s and has since been applied to the determination of trace, minor and major elements in almost every analytical field. Strengths of the technique include:

• Wide elemental coverage - virtually all elements can be measured by ICP-MS, including alkali and alkaline earth elements, transition and other metals, metalloids, rare earth elements, most of the halogens and some of the non-metals

Inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP‐MS) is undoubtedly the fastest‐growing trace element technique available today. Since its commercialization in 1983, approximately 5000 systems have been installed worldwide, carrying out many varied and diverse applications. The most common ones, which represent approximately 80% of the ICP‐MS analyses being carried out today, include environmental, geological, semiconductor, biomedical, and nuclear application fields.
