The Argon Humidifier is commonly used in ICP analyses involving samples with high dissolved solids concentration. Helping to prevent salt build-up inside the sample introduction system, the Argon Humidifier allows uninterrupted and maintenance free operation. Glass Expansion is pleased to introduce the Capricorn - Combining ease of operation, high performance and safety.

The rugged and durable plastic casing enhances safety.
The built-in pressure indicator serves as a diagnostic so you always know the sample introduction system is operating properly.
An optional easy-to-use bypass toggle allows you to take the Capricorn off-line without disconnecting argon lines.
Maximum and minimum fill marks ensure that you are always operating under optimum conditions.
A rugged bubbling frit ensures maximum saturation of the argon.

Customer comments

This is our first argon humidifier and since we installed it, we have greatly improved the duration of the analysis with the samples with a high content of dissolved salts. Much less clogged injector problems. In addition, the device is really easy to install.

With the humidifiers we probably doubled our run time. We have tried several humidifiers. The Capricorn is easy to fill, easy to disassemble to clean, and the by-pass works well. We have had no problems, by far the best humidifier we tried.
