Application Spotlight
ICP Spray Chamber Update
Glass Expansion revolutionized spray chamber design for the ICP-OES and ICP-MS
analyst by introducing cyclonic spray chambers. Prior to the Glass Expansion TraceyTM
cyclonic spray chamber, Scott-style spray chambers were the standard option provided
with your ICP. The design of Glass Expansion’s cyclonic spray chambers helps the ICP
analyst achieve sensitivity gains, reduced washout times, and reduced matrix effects not
possible with other designs.
This article will provide a summary of Glass Expansion’s unique cyclonic spray chamber
features and describe the advantages of each spray chamber type. We will also detail the
evolution of the Glass Expansion spray chamber-nebulizer interface, covering the benefits
of the Helix design. Finally we will address proper spray chamber maintenance and review
an application-specific selection guide so that you can select the best spray chamber to
suit your application.
