The ICP-OES is used for multi-element determination of mainly metallic elements presented in a sample solution. The solution is transformed into a spray and presented to an argon plasma. The resulting optical radiation is analyzed by a spectrometer. A program is used to control the instrument and process the data. The instrument needs to be maintained.
