Inductively Coupled Plasma with Mass Spectrometry is a combined analytical tool that is highly sensitive and capable of the determination of a range of metals and some non-metals at a ppmppb concentration range. It is based on coupling together an inductively coupled plasma for ionising metals for the mass spectrometer, the tool for separation and detection of metal ions. ICP-MS is also capable of monitoring isotopic speciation for the ions of choice.
