Detail:
Torch Mount, ARL 3400/3500 Accuris Mini
Torch Mount – PTFE – 110-42 refers to the mechanism or bracket that holds and positions the ICP (Inductively Coupled Plasma) torch within an ICP instrument, such as an ICP-MS (Mass Spectrometry) or ICP-OES (Optical Emission Spectrometry).
What is a Torch Mount – PTFE – 110-42?
Torch Mount – PTFE – 110-42 for the ARL 3400/3500 Accuris Mini is a component of the ICP-OES (Inductively Coupled Plasma – Optical Emission Spectrometry) system, specifically designed to be compatible with Thermo/ARL 3400/3500 Accuris Mini instruments. It is typically part of the torch assembly, which introduces the sample into the plasma for analysis
What is the Role of Torch Mount – PTFE – 110-42?
This is an OEM part number for a Torch Mount, which is an Alumina Injector used in Mini Torch Assemblies. It is also identified as a “Torch Mount – 110-42” cross-referenced with ARL 144860, compatible with Thermo/ARL instruments, specifically the ARL 3400/3500 Accuris Mini.
Why is the Torch Mount Important?
- Maintains torch positioning: The mount holds the torch in a specific and consistent position relative to other components of the instrument, such as the induction coil and the detector. Proper alignment is essential for efficient energy transfer, stable plasma formation, and accurate measurements.
- Ensures reproducible performance: By maintaining the torch’s position, the mount helps ensure that analyses are reproducible. This means that the same sample analyzed under the same conditions will yield consistent results.
- Facilitates maintenance and changes: ICP torch mounts, especially demountable designs, make it easier to perform routine maintenance, such as cleaning or replacing the torch. This is particularly important because ICP torches, being exposed to high temperatures, are subject to wear and tear.
- Supports flexibility with different applications: Some mounts allow for quick changeover of the torch or its components (like the injector). This allows the technician to quickly accommodate different types of samples or analysis requirements.
- Enables auto-alignment: Advanced ICP instruments may utilize motorized torch boxes with software control for automatic alignment of the torch, further optimizing performance and consistency.
