Elemental Analysis is a process where a sample of some material (e.g., soil, waste, minerals[1], chemical compounds[2]) is analyzed for its elemental[3] and sometimes isotopic composition. Elemental analysis can be qualitative (determining what elements are present), and it can be quantitative (determining how much of each are present). Elemental analysis falls within the ambit of analytical chemistry, the set of instruments involved in deciphering the chemical nature of our world.

Quantitative analysis is the determination of the atom% or weight% of each element present. Other quantitative methods include:

To qualitatively determine which elements exist in a sample, the methods are:
