IsoMist XR: Improved
Performance with Precise
Temperature Control for any ICP
Application
The temperature of a sample introduction system has a profound effect on ICP-OES
and ICP-MS performance and controlling that temperature has many benefits. Most
ICP-MS instruments use a cooled spray chamber to reduce oxide and polyatomic
interferences. A cooled spray chamber is also often used to reduce the volatility of
solvents so that a stable plasma is sustained. Heating the spray chamber results in
higher sample transport, enhancing sensitivity (with certain limitations). Maintaining
a constant and stable spray chamber temperature improves analytical stability and
accuracy and enhances throughput by reducing QC failures and sample re-runs.
Glass Expansion developed the original IsoMistTM to meet the demand for a reliable
and convenient temperature controlled spray chamber. On the 10th anniversary of
the IsoMist release, we are pleased to introduce the IsoMist XRTM (Figure 1). With an
extended temperature range of -25°C to +80°C the IsoMist XR guarantees optimum
conditions for any application. In this article, we detail the new design features of the
IsoMist XR and highlight several applications that benefit from the use of a temperature
controlled cyclonic spray chamber.
A wide selection of Glass Expansion
products will be on display at Pittcon.
Chicago, Illinois, USA, March 5 - 9,
2017. Glass Expansion specialists will
be on hand to answer your questions
and assist you to choose the optimum
components for your ICP.
