What Does ICAP Stand For?

ICAP stands for Inductively Coupled Argon Plasma

ICAP, or Inductively Coupled Argon Plasma, is an analytical technique used in spectroscopy to analyze various elements in a wide range of samples. It employs an argon plasma generated by electromagnetic induction to achieve high temperatures, enabling efficient ionization of the sample. This process allows for sensitive and accurate detection of trace elements, making ICAP a powerful tool in fields such as environmental monitoring, materials analysis, and chemical research. Its ability to produce consistent and reproducible results enhances its utility in both qualitative and quantitative analysis.
