Peltier Cooled Cyclonic Spray Chamber for Agilent® ICP-MS

Glass Expansion is pleased to release a new high-performance Peltier Cooled Cyclonic (PCC) Spray Chamber Kit fully compatible with the Agilent® 7900 and 8900 ICP-MS. The PCC offers improved washout and increased sample throughput compared to the standard Scott-style spray chamber.

Product Benefits

Faster Washout

The unique design of Glass Expansion’s cyclonic spray chamber minimizes washout time with highly concentrated samples and troublesome elements, such as B, Hg, Pb, and Sb compared to the standard Scott-style spray chamber.

Washout Comparison

Helix CT Interface

Glass Expansion’s cyclonic spray chambers all feature the Helix CT locking screw, which allows for a consistent inert PTFE seal against the nebulizer - making it impossible to overtighten while ensuring a gas-tight seal and optimum nebulizer installation each and every time.

  • A positive stop to ensure that the nebulizer is inserted to the correct and optimum depth within the spray chamber.
  • Significantly reduces dead volume around the nebulizer.
  • Only nebulizer interface that delivers a ConstantTorque seal providing unparalleled, reproducible day-to-day analytical performance.
  • Tracey™ design provides the best sensitivity, reproducibility, and lowest memory effects.

Interchangeable Cyclonic Spray Chambers

The PCC Kit provides the ability to easily interchange between glass, quartz, or PFA Helix CT cyclonic spray chambers.

Spray Chamber Types

  • Glass provides a lower-cost option where low-level Boron measurements are not required.
  • High purity Quartz, the most common option, is required for low-level Boron measurements.
  • High-purity PFA, for applications with a hydrofluoric acid matrix and ultra-trace ICP-MS analyses (paired optimally with the OpalMist DC nebulizer).
  • The interior of the Tracey PFA spray chamber has the proprietary Stediflow surface treatment, which improves the wettability of the surface and ensures efficient drainage. Without the Stediflow treatment, droplets tend to form on the surface and degrade both sensitivity and precision.

Fast and Simple Installation

The PCC Kit connects directly to the existing electronics and water-cooling system of the Agilent® ICP-MS. A convenient mounting bracket is also included that allows for fast and simple installation on the Agilent® ICP-MS.

Customer Comments

For our particular application this PCC kit was a great improvement. On specific cases that required four (or more) blank runs to bring the boron level to baseline now we can do it two or one blank run. This allowed us to increase sample throughput by about 50%.
