AAS or ICP-OES Are They Competing Techniques?IntroductionThe analyst today is faced with a bewilderingchoice of techniques when deciding to enterthe field of elemental analysis. Should it beAtomic Absorption Spectrometry (AAS),Inductively Coupled Plasma Optical EmissionSpectrometry (ICP-OES), InductivelyCoupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry(ICP-MS) or Inductively Coupled Plasma ArcSpark (ICP-AS)?One of the areas where the choice issupposedly most difficult to resolve concernsAAS and ICP-OES. When ICP-OES wasdeveloped in the mid-1970 s, the scientificpress read ICP is going to sweep AAS awayand take over as the only analytical techniqueworth considering for liquid samples . Today,whilst there has been a significant move byanalysts away from AAS towards ICP-OES, itis important to remember that in fact thetechniques are complimentary rather and ICP-OES are solution-basedanalytical techniques, although solid samplinghas been pursued in both types of equipmentwith varying degrees of success.
