Spectrometry is a method used to measure the properties of particles or electromagnetic radiation. It involves quantifying the intensity of light, ions, or other signals to determine the mass, concentration, or energy of specific substances within a sample
Mass Spectrometry
Mass Spectrometry
Mass spectrometry identifies and quantifies molecules by measuring their mass-to-charge ratio. A sample is ionized, and the ions are separated based on their masses as they pass through a magnetic or electric field. This creates a unique "mass spectrum" that helps identify the sample's composition. MS is widely used in pharmaceuticals, environmental testing.
Atomic Absorption Spectrometry
Atomic Absorption Spectrometry
Atomic absorption spectrometry measures the concentration of specific elements in a sample. The sample is heated to produce free atoms, which absorb light at characteristic wavelengths. By measuring this absorption, scientists can determine how much of an element is present. AAS is commonly used in environmental testing, food safety, and metal analysis.
Inductively Coupled Plasma
Inductively Coupled Plasma
ICP techniques use a high-temperature plasma to analyze the elemental composition of a sample. The sample is ionized in the plasma, and the ions are detected either by their light emission (ICP-OES Spectroscopy) or mass (ICP-MS Spectrometry). This method is highly sensitive and can detect trace elements, making it essential for environmental analysis, and quality control in various industries.
