An analytical chemist at an aerospace engineering facility needs to monitor trace lithium and sodium contamination in the aqueous wash-off from precision alloy components. The chemist opts to use flame emission spectroscopy (FES) instead of performing manual flame tests.
State one advantage of using flame emission spectroscopy instead of a manual flame test in this analysis.
