NEWS Glass Expansion Newsletter | February 2017 | Issue 42 Dates and Events Application Spotlight PITTCON 2017 IsoMist XR: Improved Performance with Precise Temperature Control for any ICP Application The temperature of a sample introduction system has a profound effect on ICP-OES and ICP-MS performance and controlling that temperature has many benefits. Most ICP-MS instruments use a cooled spray chamber to reduce oxide and polyatomic interferences. A cooled spray chamber is also often used to reduce the volatility of solvents so that a stable plasma is sustained. Heating the spray chamber results in higher sample transport, enhancing sensitivity (with certain limitations). Maintaining a constant and stable spray chamber temperature improves analytical stability and accuracy and enhances throughput by reducing QC failures and sample re-runs. Glass Expansion developed the original IsoMistTM to meet the demand for a reliable and convenient temperature controlled spray chamber. On the 10th anniversary of the IsoMist release, we are pleased to introduce the IsoMist XRTM (Figure 1). With an extended temperature range of -25°C to +80°C the IsoMist XR guarantees optimum conditions for any application. In this article, we detail the new design features of the IsoMist XR and highlight several applications that benefit from the use of a temperature controlled cyclonic spray chamber. A wide selection of Glass Expansion products will be on display at Pittcon. Chicago, Illinois, USA, March 5 - 9, 2017. Glass Expansion specialists will be on hand to answer your questions and assist you to choose the optimum components for your ICP.
