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 emission spectrometry is limited to alkali metals.
Atomic emission spectrometry is a selective method for quantifying some types of metals. It is also cheap and robust. However, atomic emission spectrometry is only applicable to the determination of alkali metals and some alkaline earth metals.
It is especially sensitive for alkali metals.

Atomic mass is determined by mass spectrometry.
Atomic absorption spectrometry is more sensitive than atomic emission spectrometry.
Atomic emission spectrometry is limited to alkali metals.
Atomic absorption spectrometry is used for the determination of metal residues remaining from pharmaceutical manufacturing.

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.
It is especially sensitive for alkali metals.
The sensitivity is directly proportional to the number of atoms in the excited state.
