What is another word for Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometry?
Pronunciation: [ɐtˈɒmɪk ɐbsˈɔːpʃən spˌɛktɹəfə͡ʊtˈə͡ʊmətɹɪ] (IPA) 
Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometry (AAS) is a common analytical technique used in various fields, including environmental science, chemistry, and materials science. This technique is used to determine the concentration of an element in a given sample. However, there are several synonyms for AAS that are frequently used interchangeably, including Atomic Absorption (AA), Flame Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy (FAAS), Graphite Furnace Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy (GFAAS), and Inductively Coupled Plasma Atomic Emission Spectroscopy (ICP-AES). AA and FAAS both rely on a flame to vaporize and excite the sample, while GFAAS uses a graphite furnace to heat the sample. ICP-AES uses a plasma to excite the sample, and it is often used for the analysis of multiple elements simultaneously.
