What Does POEMS Stand For?

POEMS stands for Plasma Optical Emission Mass Spectrometer

POEMS, or Plasma Optical Emission Mass Spectrometer, is an analytical instrument that combines plasma optical emission spectroscopy and mass spectrometry techniques to identify and quantify elements in a sample. This sophisticated tool leverages the high sensitivity and specificity of mass spectrometry alongside the rapid detection capabilities of optical emission, making it suitable for a wide range of applications in environmental monitoring, materials analysis, and chemical research.
