== Abstract  ==
“An inductively coupled plasma (ICP) is a plasma source in which energy is supplied by electric currents, which are produced by electromagnetic induction”  The high temperatures and high electron density makes it useful in atomic emission spectroscopy (ICP- AES). <ref>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inductively_coupled_plasma</ref>
 
== Introduction ==
 
ICP serves to excite atoms, for example in the atomic emission spectroscopy (ICP-AES) or in coupling with a mass spectrometer. The inductively coupled plasma is an ionized gas (argon) in the high-frequency field (27 MHz). It serves as a medium for atomization and excitation of the sprayed liquid or dissolved sample. In emission spectroscopy ICP can be used with various optical and electrical systems, combined with either simultaneous or sequential multi-element spectrometers.
 
'''Principle:''' The ICP torch is made of three concentrically arranged tubes of quartz glass. Aerosol laden gas (i.e. gas and the analyte) flows through the inner tube. Plasma gas (usually argon) is fed into the central tube and the exterior tube directs a flow of cooling gas. Because the sample is kept inside the plasma torch for a long time and due to the high temperatures (6000- 8000 K) inside the torch, a very high state of excitation is achieved. The excited atoms, (formed in the plasma) emit light with a characteristic wavelength, which is registered as emission spectrum.
 
ICP emission spectroscopy is a powerful analytical method that enhances atomic absorption spectroscopy, but cannot replace it completely.

'''Advantages:'''
*'''Matrix effects (e.g. falsified blanks and changing measurement sensitivities by solvents that act similarly to the analyte or interact with the analyte''') are significantly lower in the ICP than in the AAS.
*ICP is largely free of chemical and ionization interference. The long- span dynamic range (4-6 orders of magnitude) allows the simultaneous determination of major and minor components and traces. Therefore a large number of elements can be quickly determined.
*In the study of salts or salt-forming ions, this method is particularly useful for determining K<sup>+</sup>, Na<sup>+</sup>, Ca<sup>2+</sup>, Mg<sup>2+</sup>.
 
 
'''Disadvantage:'''
*Anions cannot be detected.
*Not a non-destructive method.
