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.
OpalMist PFA Nebulizer Ultra-Trace Analysis When carrying out ultra-trace analysis, especially by ICP-MS, the risk of contamination must be minimized. The high purity of the PFA material used to make the OpalMist nebulizer provides the exceptionally low background necessary for ultra-trace determinations.
Highly Corrosive Samples The totally inert construction of the OpalMist PFA nebulizer enables it to easily handle even the most corrosive samples, such as those containing high levels of hydrofluoric acid (HF) or reactive organic solvents. The OpalMist is also capable of aspirating high concentrations of dissolved solids (typically up to 15%) without clogging. This makes the OpalMist the ideal nebulizer to handle geochemical samples which are typically dissolved in HF and are high in dissolved solids. The OpalMistTM PFA concentric nebulizer is the nebulizer of choice for high precision analyses requiring the highest chemical resistance to HF, alkalis and organics. The high purity PFA construction makes it ideal for ultra-trace
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.
