ES-2030-28 High Solids ST-type Nebulizer ES-2030-0002 High Solids Integrated Nebulizer (shown)

PFA-HS High Solids Nebulizer

The PFA-HS nebulizer has a larger internal capillary than the standard ST type nebulizers, preventing salt deposition at the nebulizer tip.

The PFA construction helps prevent clogging and affords a high chemical resistance for applications involving concentrated acids, bases and organic solvents.

Available in two types:

x ST-type with detachable capillary

x Integrated capillary that can directly insert to Peristaltic pump tubing

Internal flow path = 0.3 mm

The large-bore constriction free capillary runs the length of the nebulizer.

HPLC and Laser Nebulizers

Integrated capillary that can directly insert to Peristaltic pump tubing

(6)

PFA-LS Laser Ablation Nebulizer

Many laser ablation studies involve the introduction of a liquid standard aerosol for performing mass calibrations, ICP optimization etc.

The PFA-LS has been designed so that it produces a fine aerosol at low nebulizer gas flow rates (0.2—0.3L/min) allowing more sample gas to pass through the laser ablation chamber.

ES-2050 PFA-LC Nebulizer

PFA-LC for Liquid Chromatography

The PFA-LC nebulizer has a smaller internal capillary than the standard ST type nebulizers.

The small dead volume (<3µL) reduces band broadening effects, once a peak leaves the column.

Supplied with common HPLC fittings for zero dead volume connections to the HPLC system.

Suitable for both micro and standard flow chromatography.

Designed specifically for PFA-ST and PolyPro-ST nebulizers to remove clogs. Includes one guide, 10 pieces of fused silica and instructions. For use with ST type nebulizers only. Not necessary for High Solids nebulizers.

Capillary & Probes for ST Nebulizers

ESI provides a range of PFA sample probes offering high chemical resistance for applications involving strong acids, alkalis and organics. A contoured design reduces carry over while an all PFA wetted sample flow path reduces contamination. The Teflon® construction is reinforced by a completely encapsulated support.

Support materials include:

x Carbon Fiber x PEEK x Ultem

Colored markers indicate internal diameter. It is recommended that integrated capillary nebulizers (not ST-type) be used for flow rates < 100 µL/min.

Contact ESI for custom flow rates.

For peristaltic pumping, either 0.25 mm i.d. (0.1 to 1 ml / min) or 0.5 mm i.d. (0.5 to 3ml / min) is recommended.

Sample Capillaries for ST Nebulizers

(red) (purple) (green) (orange) (blue)

A variety of flanged Teflon sample capillaries and autosampler probes are available for the ST-type nebulizers. Sample capillaries are securely attached to the nebulizer using a threaded, zero dead volume flanged fitting.

PFA MicroFlow nebulizers are constructed entirely from chemically resistant fluoropolymers, ideal for strong acids, alkalis, organics, high salt solutions, and high solid concentrations. They are resistant to clogging, are reliably self-aspirated or pumped, and produce a fine aerosol for high transport efficiency and high sensitivity.

i.d. self-aspiration rate (@1L/m Ar) ES-2020-0000 PFA-20 20 µL/min ES-2000-0000 PFA-50 50 µL/min

These nebulizers allow self-aspiration at low sample consumption rates with any autosampler while providing the same benefits of the PFA MicroFlow nebulizer. The integrated sampling probe is constructed by encapsulating a rigid support material between layers of Teflon to provide a chemically resistant probe that is mechanically stable and resilient.

These nebulizers allow self-aspiration at low sample consumption rates. The unique design eliminates connectors between the sample and the nebulizer, minimizing contamination and dead volume. Since the sample contacts only Teflon®, the PFA MicroFlow nebulizer is the cleanest, most chemically resistant nebulizer available.

Standard Scott Apex HF Apex HF + ACM Apex HF + Spiro

The Spiro TMD is a heated macro-porous PTFE Teflon® membrane desolvation module that reduces solvent derived polyatomic interferences in the ICPMS mass spectrum. Both aqueous and organic solutions can be desolvated, making the Spiro ideal for HPLC applications.

The Spiro can also be used without the Apex to add membrane desolvation to standard sample introduction systems.

Spiro TMD Module

The ACM is a Peltier cooled micro-porous Nafion^® membrane desolvation module for removing residual solvent vapor and small polar organic compounds to reduce polyatomic interferences.

Cooling the membrane improves desolvation efficiency and long term stability. The Nafion membrane has a Chemical resistance similar to Teflon^®. Sweep gas does not permeate through membrane making it simple to operate.

*Contact ESI for custom chamber designs

Cyclonic Spray Chambers offer the advantages of low-memory effects, fast rinse-out, and higher sample transport efficiency. O-ring free connections to the nebulizer and injector eliminate a possible source of contamination. These spray chambers can be used with any 6mm nebulizer, including MicroFlow PFA Nebulizers, PolyPro Nebulizers, and glass concentric nebulizers. All ESI cyclonic spray chambers may be used alone or with the PC³ Peltier Cooler.

Peltier Cooled Cyclonic Chamber

A one piece ferrule nut securely holds any 6mm nebulizer in place

The PC³ is a small, simple, and robust cooler for ICPMS and ICPAES cyclonic spray chambers.

The PC³ cools the outer walls of the cyclonic spray chamber to a constant temperature enhancing long-term signal stability, reducing polyatomic ion interferences, such as oxides, and reducing solvent loading when volatile organic solvents are analyzed. The cyclonic spray chamber offers the advantages of low-memory effects, fast rinse-out, and in many cases higher sample transport efficiency.

Endcaps and Spray Chambers

PFA PureCap Endcap

These endcaps and spray chambers are constructed of chemically inert materials. The O-ring-free seal reduces contamination and makes them low maintenance and easy to clean. The endcap adapts and seals to any 6 mm O.D. nebulizer. All spray chambers include one drain line.

Injectors and Torch

Torches Injectors

Selection of ESI injectors: 1 Standard Quartz injector for standard demountable torch. 2. O- ring free Quartz injector for Precision torch.

ESI produce injectors in a range of i.d. and 3 different materials:

Quartz - An economical solution for many non-HF applications. Ideal in 1mm i.d. for organic solvent analysis.

Sapphire - HF resistant injector, ideal for most high purity and low background applications.

Platinum - HF resistant injector, recommended for improved performance for sub to low ppt Al determinations.

These injectors are available in 2 formats Standard Injectors

O-ring free direct connection to ESI spray chambers

O-ring free Injectors

O-ring free seal reduces contamination, easy to clean and easy t o insert.

All-in-One Quartz Torch

An economical torch, simple to insert and simple to use.

Standard Demountable Torch

Allows different injectors to be inserted depending on application

Precision Quartz Torch

The re-inforced base of the Precision torch reduces the chance of accidental breakage and allows for the precision alignment of the o-ring free injector.
