Nebulizers
All Glass Expansion concentric glass nebulizers (Figure 1a.) feature our unique VitriCone™ capillary construction delivering you the best possible manufacturing precision. Glass Expansion is the only manufacturer that takes thick walled constant-bore tubing and machines the outside to a uniform aerodynamic shape. This guarantees a uniform sample channel, assuring tolerance to high matrix samples and perfect reproducibility.
Samples with residual hydrofluoric acid (HF) require an inert nebulizer such as the DuraMist nebulizer (Figure 1b.) or VeeSpray ceramic nebulizer (Figure 1c.). DuraMist is a concentric nebulizer made of PEEK. It is ideally suited to ICP-OES for high sensitivity and excellent short-term precision with the highest tolerance to dissolved salts of any concentric nebulizer. The VeeSpray nebulizer is made of high purity Alumina grade ceramic. This parallel path nebulizer is virtually unblockable and provides the best tolerance to large particulates and abrasion-resistance.
All the below nebulizers come with our inert, metal-free DC (Direct Connection) gas fittings as standard.
Spray Chambers
The spray chamber is a crucial component of the ICP sample introduction system since it has a profound effect on transport efficiency, precision, and washout. Each Glass Expansion spray chamber incorporates the Helix CT nebulizer interface with ConstantTorque technology, which provides a constant, reproducible, inert, gas-tight seal between the nebulizer and spray chamber each and every time. Glass Expansion offers the following spray chambers to accommodate all kinds of samples and applications.
- Single-pass Tracey™ version for the highest sensitivity.
- For low volume applications we recommend the single pass Cinnabar™ spray chamber (20mL) option. The Cinnabar's design and low volume are ideal for the reduction of memory and matrix effects and very fast washout.
- Double-pass Twister™ version with central baffle that rejects large droplets from the nebulizer aerosol for best short-term precision and lowest interferences.
- Made from totally inert PTFE - impervious to organic solvents and strong acids, even HF.
- The IsoMist XS allows for direct analysis of volatile organic solvents such as naphtha without dilution at a temperature of -25°C, resulting in higher intensities, better precision, and higher accuracy when compared to studies at -10 °C.
- The HydraMist can simultaneously determine As, Se, Sb, Tl and Hg using hydride generation and non-hydride forming elements using conventional pneumatic nebulization whilst offering more than a 10 fold improvements in detection limits for the cold vapor elements.
Torches
We offer a wide range of torches and injectors to suit the ever-growing sample types in today’s market. Whether you’re after the simple to use, one-piece quartz torch for clean applications or the Fully Demountable Torch (FDT) for the more aggressive sample matrices, we have a wide range of options fit for every application.
- Suitable for clean applications and laboratories with low sample volume workflows.
- Optional Ceramic Outer Tube
- Ideal for waste water, brines, fusions, and geological samples where quartz devitrifies rapidly due to the presence of high TDS
- Ideal for tribology (wear metals) and organic application where quartz prematurely fractures due to thermal shock
- Interchangeable injectors - choose the optimum injector for your application. Select from quartz for aqueous solutions, narrow bore for organics, wide bore for high dissolved solids.
Contour Flared-end Pump Tubing
it can often be quite difficult to insert the sample tube into the peristaltic pump tube. This is particularly so if the peristaltic pump tube has a small internal diameter (ID).To facilitate this connection, Glass Expansion supplies the Contour range of flared-end pump tubing. The flared end of this pump tubing allows the larger sample capillary tubing to be inserted.
