ICP-OES, ICP-MS and AAS Techniques ComparedGeoff TylerJobin Yvon , Horiba GroupLongjumeau, FranceKeywords: atomic SPECTROSCOPY , detection limit, linear dynamic range, interferences, precision, costof ownership, sample throughput1 IntroductionInductively coupled plasma- OPTICAL emissionspectrometry (ICP-OES) is an attractive tech-nique that has led many analysts to ask whetherit is wiser to buy an ICP-OES or to stay with theirtrusted atomic absorption technique (AAS) (1).More recently, a new and more expensive tech-nique, inductively coupled plasma-mass spec-trometry (ICP-MS), has been introduced as a rou-tine tool (2).ICP-MS offers initially, albeit at higher cost, theadvantages of ICP-OES and the detection limitadvantages of graphite furnace-atomic absorp-tion spectrometry (GF-AAS). Unlike the famousprediction by Fassel, "..that AAS would be deadby year ", low cost flame AAS willalways have a future for the small lab with sim-ple article will briefly describe these three tech-niques, and point out the important criteria bywhich to judge their applicability to your ownanalytical problems.
