It is especially sensitive for alkali metals.
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.
Atomic absorption is more sensitive to atomic emission when the excitation potential is greater than 3.5eV.
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.

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.

The sensitivity is directly proportional to the number of atoms in the excited state.
