Detail:
The OpalMist Nebulizer out for its high chemical resistance to HF, alkalis, and organics. As a result of its PFA composition and low elemental background levels, it’s suitable for ultra-trace ICP-MS work.
What is an OpalMist Nebulizer?
In ICP (Inductively Coupled Plasma) analysis, an OpalMist PFA nebulizer is a type of nebulizer with a design specific for high-precision analysis, especially ICP-MS. It uses a PFA (Perfluoro alkoxy) material for its construction, offering high chemical resistance and low background contamination.
How is an OpalMist Nebulizer Different from Other Nebulizers in ICP?
- The OpalMist nebulizer, made of ultra-high-purity PFA, stands out for its high chemical resistance to HF, alkalis, and organics. It is suitable for ultra-trace ICP-MS work due to its low elemental background levels.
- A critical details checklist supporting the unique qualities of OpalMist includes:
- Materials: As mentioned, the OpalMist nebulizer is constructed from PFA (perfluoro alkoxy), a high-purity fluoropolymer, which is known for its inertness and resistance to chemicals.
- Chemical Resistance: Importantly, the PFA material provides superior resistance to corrosive samples, including those containing HF, alkalis, and organics, making it work for many applications.
- Ultra-Trace Analysis: The high purity of the PFA construction results in very low elemental background levels, which is crucial for ultra-trace analysis, especially in ICP-MS.
- Self-Aspiration: The OpalMist, with its design for self-aspiration, removes the need for peristaltic pump tubing, and therefore removes a primary source of contamination.
- Applications: OpalMist is ideal for labs requiring increased resistance to harmful sample types and/or ultra-trace analyses.
