Glass Expansion's New D-Torch
for the PerkinElmer Avio 200
& 500 ICP-OES
Features and Information
Glass Expansion offers it's popular D-Torch for a wide range of ICP-OES and ICPMS
models and is pleased to release a version for PerkinElmer's Avio 200 & 500
ICP-OES. The new D-Torch for the PerkinElmer Avio is a direct replacement for
the instrument's standard torch. It incorporates the same easy to use, selfaligning
feature of the PerkinElmer Avio 200 & 500 torch. The D-Torch is designed to reduce
running costs associated with torch wear when analyzing challenging samples
such as organic solvents, fusions or samples containing high total dissolved solids
(TDS) or hydrofluoric acid (HF).
The revolutionary D-Torch design uses Glass Expansion's acclaimed high
precision engineering capabilities to provide a demountable torch without
sacrificing performance or usability. The Glass Expansion D-Torch incorporates
an alumina intermediate tube, a demountable injector and outer tube. It is no
longer necessary to have multiple torches in your lab, as a single D-Torch with
the right alumina, quartz or sapphire injector of the appropriate internal diameter
can be used for any application from drinking waters through to organics, high
TDS or even HF containing solutions. The replaceable outer tube is much more
economical to replace than having to replace the complex quartz assembly of
the standard torch. Furthermore, when analyzing really difficult sample types, the
quartz outer tube can devitrify in a few hours of operation, whilst the optional
ceramic outer tube can last years under the same conditions.
The Major Benefits of the D-Torch are:
• An alumina intermediate tube which resists wear and is tolerant to high temperatures
• A low cost demountable quartz outer tube so just the outer tube can be replaced when worn or damaged
• An optional ceramic outer tube which does not devitrify like quartz, giving a much longer lifetime and significantly lower running costs
• Interchangeable injectors with a choice of internal diameters and materials such as quartz, alumina, and sapphire are available for a wide
range of applications and sample types
• O-ring free torch body for simpler maintenance and improved reliability
• Compatible with all commonly used spray chamber configurations
A demountable torch also makes routine cleaning and maintenance easier and the o-ring free torch body also ensures a longer life and lower
maintenance costs and downtime. Switching to the D-Torch is a cost-effective alternative to the standard torch that will reduce running costs
in any laboratory. For more information on the new D-Torch for the PE AVIO 200 & 500 ICP-OES visit www.geicp.com/D-Torch
