All ICP Nebulizers are NOT created equal
Only Glass Expansion nebulizers include the unique VitriCone construction.
With some brands of glass concentric nebulizers, the sample channel is constructed from drawn-out capillary tubing. The problems with this type of construction are:
- The tube is tapered, encouraging salt deposition as the tube narrows.
- The tubing is very fragile and easily broken.
- The tubing can vibrate under the influence of the high speed argon flow, leading to poor precision.
- It is very difficult to reproduce the same performance with different nebulizers.
All Glass Expansion concentric glass nebulizers use the unique VitriCone construction for the sample channel. With the VitriCone design, the sample channel is constructed from a heavy glass capillary which is machined to very high tolerances. The benefits of the VitriCone construction are:
- The sample channel is guaranteed uniform and thus resistant to clogging.
- The rugged precision machined capillary resists vibration and delivers the best possible precision.
- The industry's tightest tolerances ensure that each nebulizer will perform to the same high standards as the previous one.
