NEW Products for PerkinElmer® NexION 5000 ICP-MS

Glass Expansion offers a complete range of nebulizers, spray chambers, torches, cones and other accessories for the PerkinElmer® NexION 5000 ICP-MS. Our high performance sample introduction components will reduce your instrument running costs, enhance its performance and improve usability.

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. For high purity applications, Glass Expansion offer a Quartz SeaSpray 1mL/min nebulizer (Figure 1b).

The OpalMist PFA concentric nebulizer (Figure 1c) is the nebulizer of choice for high precision analyses requiring the highest chemical resistance to HF, alkalis and organics. The high purity PFA construction makes it ideal for ultra-trace ICP-MS work. The totally inert construction of the OpalMist PFA nebulizer enables it to easily handle even the most corrosive samples, such as those containing high levels of hydrofluoric acid (HF) or reactive organic solvents. The OpalMist features excellent sensitivity, precision and long term stability.

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.

Figure 2. Glass Expansion Spray Chambers

a) Single-pass Tracey™

• 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.

(b) Double-pass Twister™

• Double-pass Twister™ version with central baffle that rejects large droplets from the nebulizer aerosol for best short-term precision and lowest interferences.
• For low volume applications we recommend the double pass Twinnabar™ cyclonic spray chamber (20mL) to reduce solvent load but maintain fast washout.

(c) Twister Spray Chamber with Matrix Gas Port and Helix CT

• Double-pass Twister with central baffle that rejects large droplets from the nebulizer aerosol for best short-term precision and lowest interferences.
• Features a AMS Matrix gas port and DC gas line.
• Compatible with 70-803-1473 to humidify matrix gas port.

(d) High Efficiency Spray Chamber

Our High Efficiency Sample Introduction System offers a complete solution to quantitatively measure the metal content in individual cells. Our HE-SIS consists of a:

• High efficiency, low uptake, concentric glass nebulizer designed to efficiently nebulize single-cell suspensions without compromising cell integrity.
• Low volume, on-axis, laminar-flow spray chamber directly coupled to the ICP for the highest transport efficiency of the nebulized single-cell suspension.
• MicroJet gas adapter (Patent approved) which entrains and shapes the aerosol plume to reduce cell deposition onto the spray chamber walls and increase sample transport efficiency.
• An instrument specific mounting bracket to support and install the SC-SIS Kit, ensuring proper alignment of the laminar flow spray chamber.

Torches

The Glass Expansion revolutionary demountable torch is now available for the Perkin-Elmer® NexION 5000. The D-Torch uses high precision engineering to provide the benefits of a fully demountable torch at a significantly lower cost. The benefits of the D-Torch include:

• Demountable outer tube - why replace the entire torch when just the outer tube wears? With the D-Torch, you need only replace the outer tube. And most operators will be saving money after only two replacements.
• Much lower cost than other demountable torches.
• 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.

Contour 2 Tag PVC, Flared End, 95mm between tags Overall Length:   187mm (95mm between tags) No. of tubes per pack:   6 Physical Properties:   Thermoplastic, PVC based material with plasticizer Special Properties:   Inexpensive all-round tubing for general laboratory applications
