Inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) is a type of mass spectrometry capable of detecting metals and several non-metals at concentrations as low as one part per quadrillion (ppq) on non-interfered low-background isotopes. This is achieved by ionizing the sample with inductively coupled plasma and then using a mass spectrometer to separate and quantify those ions. Compared to atomic absorption spectroscopy, ICP-MS has greater speed, precision, and sensitivity.
