Nebulizers and Supplies
Nebulizers and Supplies from Agilent
Agilent's high quality ICP-MS Nebulizers disperse the measured sample solution from the peristaltic pump as a fine mist into the spray chamber. This is carried out using a stream of argon gas. There are three types of nebulizers available: Babington nebulizers for introducing samples with high matrix and high TDS (total dissolved salts) levels, concentric nebulizers for use with clean samples (available in Pyrex or quartz versions) and CrossFlow nebulizers which are the standard nebulizers for the ICP-MS inert kit. A full range of connection accessories including tubing, end caps, O-rings and other fittings are available for all models.
- Babington nebulizers are used for introducing samples with high matrix and high TDS (total dissolved salts) levels and are provided with O-rings, sample tubing and connector
- Ensure the Babington nebulizer remains in peak performance by cleaning the system when orifices become clogged or when contaminated. Replace tubing when heavily contaminated by high matrix samples causing memory effects to remain even after cleaning.
- The Babington nebulizer end cap is also available including O-ring and blend gas line connector
- Concentric nebulizers are recommended for use with clean samples as the inner capillary may become clogged by particles or high concentrations of salt
- Two types of concentric nebulizer are available: Pyrex (for use with clean samples only - not resistant to hydrochloric acid) and quartz (recommended for trace analysis of clean samples - lower contamination level than that of the Pyrex nebulizer)
- A full range of connection accessories including end caps, blend gas line connectors, O-rings for end cap, O-rings for fittings to end cap, PTFE are available manufactured to Agilent's high quality standards
- Ensuring the longevity of nebulizer through regular cleaning with a 5% HNO3 (v/v) bath (do not use ultrasonic bath) and replace system when the capillary is broken or the nebulizer is damaged
- The CrossFlow nebulizer is the standard nebulizer for the ICP-MS inert kit, and is resistant to hydrofluoric acid
- The CrossFlow nebulizer includes bushing, carrier gas line connector, blend gas line connector, sample tubing, and gas line tubings sample tubing, and gas line tubings
- Ensure carrier gas pressure is set to 500 kPa during use and clean the system with 5% HNO3 (v/v) bath. Replace the CrossFlow nebulizer when memory effects remain after cleaning
