Description
Demountable Axial Torch 3 Slot Organics 310-60EL/3SL
Part Number:
PG310-60EL/3SL
Cross Reference(s)
PerkinElmer: N0790249
Instrument Compatibility:
PerkinElmer Avio 200/500 ICP-OES series
Torch Detail:
Hybrid XLT 3-Slot Organics Torch. Demountable, Extended Torch Lifetime, up to 10x improvement.
There are many three-slot torches available for organic analysis. Torches with three slots are typically used for organic analysis, while torches without slots are recommended for organic solvents.
This torch has a demountable design with one-piece quartz tubing for plasma and auxiliary gas flow.
What is the Role of the ICP Torch?
A plasma is an ionized gas, consisting of positively charged ions and free (unbound) electrons. The role of the plasma (ICP) in ICP-MS is to ionize the sample. In contrast to so-called ‘soft’ ionization sources in other forms of mass spectrometry, the ICP is a ‘hard’ ionization technique because it completely atomizes most molecules in the sample.
ICP-MS instruments use an argon plasma, although helium plasma is also an option. Although there are several advantages to using helium, argon is the gas of choice since the cost of helium is prohibitive.
Features of Torch 3 Slot Organics OEM# N0790249
Organics
In an ICP torch, organics refers to non-water-soluble organic solvents. ICP-OES instruments can analyze organic solvents directly, without dilution, at room temperature. As a result, this simplifies the analysis of petrochemical samples, since many dissolve in solvents like kerosene, xylene, methanol, or ethanol.
3-Slot Torch
Three-slot torches are commonly for organic analysis in ICP optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES). ICP-OES is a technique that uses plasma and a spectrometer to determine the composition of elements in samples.
