Laser Ablation Adaptors

Laser Ablation is a rapidly growing sample introduction system for the introduction of solids into ICP-MS and ICP-OES. The technique is widely used in geochemical, isotopic, and environmental analysis, and is also a growing area of research in multi-element imaging of biological materials.

70-803-1600

For routine “bulk analysis” Laser Ablation, the cell output can be connected to ICP torch and make up gas added using (70-803-1600). This mixing chamber allows the ablation cell gas flow to be optimized separately from that of the plasma injector gas flow rate ensuring the best laser ablation performance without compromising plasma performance. It is designed to connect directly to the ICP torch by way of the S13 (13mm) cup and included metal ball joint clip. Also included is P/N GAZ-06-3.2B, designed to directly connect soft-walled 1/8 inch ID tubing from the outlet of the Laser to the mixing chamber (Compatible with the Agilent ® 77/78/79/88/8900 ICP-MS).

31-808-4034

This low-volume laser ablation adapter (31-808-4034) with tangential make-up gas input is used with low dead-volume laser ablation cells to directly connect with the ICP-MS torch to maintain signal intensity and precision and minimize washout. A zero dead-volume fitting connects a 1/16” OD PEEK capillary transfer tube and an S13 (13mm) cup outlet directly connects to the ICP-MS torch without the need for complex and difficult-to-use direct injection torches. When used with the Agilent® ICP-MS, this adapter connects directly to the torch whilst keeping all connections outside the torch box (Compatible with the Agilent® 77/78/79/88/8900 ICP-MS).
