Ceramic Plasma Tube
Using an all ceramic plasma tube on your ICP torch produces a hotter, more robust plasma, which reduces matrix effects and improves detection limits. Compared to a quartz plasma tube, the ceramic plasma tube has a much longer lifetime, greatly reducing maintenance, cleaning and downtime due to torch failure. In some sample matrices, quartz plasma tubes can degrade in hours while the ceramic plasma tubes may last years under the same conditions.
- Analyses at the detection limit as the hotter plasma increases sensitivity.
- Monitoring of wear metals in engine oils, as quartz tubes often suffer cracking and shortened lifetimes due to thermal shock.
- Analysis of fusion samples where the lithium salts rapidly attack quartz.
- Measuring high TDS samples that will quickly devitrify the quartz tube.
