Since the scientist have needed to know the identity and quantity of the materials with which they are working. Consequently, the development of chemical and physical analysis parallels the development of chemistry and physics. This course discuss one of most important methods of instrumental spectroscopy analysis which call Inductively Coupled Plasma, the common analytical tool for the determination of elemental analytes in solution. It is based upon the emission light from elemental species aspirated into high temperature argon plasma, which used for excitation of contained elements.
The quality of analysis depend more on the quality of the operator than that of the instrument, so this course will help laboratory staff to understand meaning of spectroscopy, and to be apple to make elemental analysis with high sensitivity by spectroscopy
