Quartz Injector, 3.0mm ID
In an ICP system, a “quartz injector” refers to the small, inner tube made of quartz that is part of the plasma torch. It is responsible for delivering the sample aerosol (a fine mist of the sample) directly into the center of the plasma where it gets atomized and ionized for analysis. Essentially, this tube “injects” the sample into the hot plasma.
What is the Importance and Function of the Quartz Injector ICP?
- Precise Sample Delivery: It precisely guides the fine mist (aerosol) generated by the nebulizer into the core of the plasma channel. This positioning is vital to ensure that the sample undergoes optimal desolvation, atomization, and excitation.
- High-Temperature Resistance: The plasma operates at extreme temperatures (often between 6,000K and 10,000K). Quartz is used because it can withstand these severe thermal conditions without melting or warping, maintaining a stable gas flow path.
- Chemical Inertness & Purity: Quartz is chemically resistant to most standard aqueous samples and organic solvents. This prevents the injector from reacting with the sample matrix, mitigating sample contamination and ensuring high accuracy in elemental analysis
