Atomic absorption spectrometry is used for the determination of metal residues remaining from pharmaceutical manufacturing.
Atomic absorption spectrometry is more sensitive than atomic emission spectrometry.
Atomic absorption spectrometry can only be used for metallic elements. Each element needs a different hollow cathode lamp for its determination.
ICP-MS allows multi-element analysis. It has a longer linear working range so fewer standards for calibration is needed as they can be spaced further apart. ICP-MS also has a higher sensitivity compared to atomic emission spectrometry or atomic absorption spectrometry.

Atomic emission spectrometry is used to quantify alkali metals in alkali metal salts, infusion, and dialysis solutions. It is used used to determine the presence of metallic impurities in some of the other inorganic salts used in preparing these solutions.
Atomic absorption spectrometry is the measurement of the absorption of optical radiation by atoms in the gaseous state. Usually only absorptions involving the ground state, known as resonance lines, are observed.
The sensitivity is directly proportional to the number of atoms in ground state.
By chemical analysis: Uv-vis absorption spectrophotometry, atomic absorption spectrophotometry, inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry, inductively coupled plasma emmission spectrometry, polarograhy, phosphorescence fluorometry, flame spectrophotometry, etc.
