SeaSpray™ DC Nebulizer

The high dissolved solids nebulizer

The SeaSpray™ concentric DC nebulizer offers outstanding nebulization efficiency for trace level analyses. It offers freedom from clogging while nebulizing solutions to the limit of solubility of most mineral salts, and conferring significant sensitivity gains. The SeaSpray™ concentric DC nebulizer has the the highest sensitivity for any concentric nebulizer on the market.

Features of the SeaSpray™ DC Nebulizer Material: Borosilicate glass High physical reproducibility ~ 1% TDS tolerance, typically up to 20% High tolerance to particulates, typically up to 75µm Low RSD's due to highly accurate construction Standard available uptake: 0.4mL/min and 2mL/min

Product Features

Simply the Best!

The SeaSpray™ DC nebulizer has re-written the rules for analysis with ICP-OES and ICP-MS, providing improved precision and sensitivity as well as freedom from clogging.

The SeaSpray combines a unique self-washing tip with the revolutionary Glass Expansion VitriCone construction. The SeaSpray nebulizer tip has been carefully designed with smooth surfaces to minimize the adhesion of salt crystals. The design also uses the washing action of the dispersing droplets to further prevent crystal growth, allowing the SeaSpray to handle up to 20% salt solutions.

With some concentric glass nebulizer brands, the sample channel is constructed from fine drawn out capillary tubing. Glass Expansion nebulizers on the other hand, use the unique VitriCone construction. With the VitriCone design the sample channel is constructed from heavy glass capillary which is machined to very tight tolerances.

• The sample channel is uniform, so salt deposition is inhibited.
• The industry's tightest tolerances ensure that each nebulizer will perform to the same high standards as the previous one.

With the SeaSpray U-Series and DC nebulizer, our proprietary UniFit connector slides easily over the sample arm and creates an excellent seal. As with all U-Series and DC nebulizers, the sample channel is uniform from the entry point to the tip so there is nowhere for particulates to be trapped. Since there is nowhere for the sample to be trapped, you get the fastest possible washout and highest sample throughput. We supply SeaSpray U-Series and DC nebulizers for all ICP-OES and ICP-MS spectrometers.

Nexus™ Universal Connection Kit

All U-Series nebulizers are compatible with our Nexus Universal Connection Kit. This easy to install kit provides a quick high integrity connection to the output capillary of an HPLC or LC. When used with either an ICP-OES or ICP-MS, the High Pressure interface facilitates speciation of elemental compounds so that more information about the sample can be garnered.

Direct Connection (DC) Nebulizer

The DC nebulizer has a UniFit sample connector that slides easily over the sample arm and an argon gas connector configured to connect directly to your ICP. The benefits of the DC nebulizer are:

• Inert metal-free argon gas connector.
• Instrument-specific Direct Connect flexible argon gas line.
• Reliable ratchet fitting ensures leak-free argon gas connection.

DC versions of the SeaSpray, MicroMist, Conikal, Slurry, DuraMist, OpalMist, and VeeSpray nebulizers are available to suit the most common models of ICP-OES and ICP-MS.

The DC nebulizer part number has a prefix specific to each type of gas connector. For example, the prefix "A13-" denotes a connector for the Agilent® 5100/5110/5800/5900 ICP-OES, so part number A13-07-USS2 is a SeaSpray nebulizer configured for direct connection to the Agilent® 5100/5110/5800/5900.

Customer Comments

(In reference to the SeaSpray nebulizer) It is, without a doubt, the best nebulizer I have ever used--in over 20 years of ICP analysis.

Environmental laboratory - Canada

(In reference to the SeaSpray nebulizer) It is working very well, as are all the cleaning tools and pre-filter........ how great you were in helping me buy the right nebulizer, etc. I could not have asked for any better customer service.

Pharmaceutical laboratory - USA

The fact is that the Sea Spray is working so well that we don't need to replace it as often. We have two instruments that use it and the nebs just go on and on ... just like the proverbial Energizer Bunny.

Environmental laboratory - USA

The new system seems to be working great on the Varian. RSD averages with the SeaSpray and Twister have ranged from 0.24 to 0.35 for the most part.

Reference material manufacturer - USA

We have a new ICP-MS on order and want to use the SeaSpray nebulizers as we are really happy with the ones we use with ICP-OES.

Research Institute - New Zealand

I've been having very good results with the high pressure SeaSpray (0.4mL/min) nebulizer you recommended for our Optima 7300 DV. I've been able to get it to self-aspirate ... and it flows at 0.4 mL/min, with no pump tubing and associated pulsations. The precision is outstanding, better than I have ever seen on an ICP. Great nebulizer. The new U-series design is perfect for this application because of the reduced dead volume, it washes out very quickly.

Wastewater laboratory - USA

I have just installed and tested the Twister spray chamber and SeaSpray nebulizer on our Spectro® Genesis ICP, and at this stage it appears to be performing very well, with sensitivities about twice what we were getting with the Scott/crossflow combination.

Minerals laboratory - Australia

I love the SeaSpray nebulizer and Twister spray chamber I'm using on our Optima 3300DV, along with all the fittings and connectors that make it so easy to connect and also to disassemble for cleaning.

Wastewater laboratory - USA

We put in our SeaSpray nebulizer. Strong accolades of approval. I probably need to buy one more as a back-up.

Healthcare company - USA

I switched from Spectro's Scott style spray chamber and cross-flow nebulizer to GE's Twister cyclonic spray chamber and SeaSpray nebulizer. I now get excellent performance with much faster washout times.
