    Abstract: A liquid sample to be analyzed is fed to a micro pump. The pump directs the solution, as a stream of uniformly sized and spaced droplets, into a laminarly flowing stream of hot carrier gas. The carrier gas evaporates the solvents (e.g. water) in the droplets to form a stream of dried particles. The particles are vaporized by a plasma, laser or other heat source. The vapour can be ionized and the ions analyzed by a mass spectrometer, or the vapour can be analyzed by optical spectroscopy. The method reduces oxide and other interference effects, increases sample utilization, and reduces waste, signal noise, and memory effects, increasing instrument productivity. Multiple nozzles can be used to change samples or to shoot calibrating droplets, further increasing productivity. Signal detection can be synchronized with droplet firing, or the signal, which is intrinsically modulated at the drop frequency, can be band pass filtered and synchronously detected, to increase the signal to noise ratio. The dried particles can also be directed into a vacuum chamber and deposited in a desired pattern on a surface in the vacuum, thus delivering controlled microdosages of material onto the surface.

    Abstract: Disclosed is a multi-stage particle separator for separating analyte from non-analyte solvent in a fluid sample having nebulizing means to form droplets from the liquid sample and means coupled to the nebulizing means for adding helium to the nebulizing means. Furthermore, the multi-stage particle separator has a desolvation chamber for receiving the droplets, the desolvation chamber terminating in a nozzle, a multi-stage momentum separator including skimmers, and means for introducing a gas into one or more of the states to increase pressure of the latter stage so that the particles leave the multi-stage separator substantially free of solvent.

    Abstract: A liquid sample introduction system for a plasma spectrometer includes a sample container for holding a liquid sample, a surface acoustic wave (SAW) nebulizer, arranged to receive a liquid sample from the sample container, an electronic controller for supplying electrical power to the SAW nebulizer so as to produce a surface acoustic wave on a surface of the SAW nebulizer, for generating an aerosol from the supplied sample liquid, and an aerosol transport arrangement for receiving the aerosol from the SAW nebulizer and carrying it into a plasma or flame of a spectrometer. The electronic controller is further configured to control the electrical power to the SAW nebulizer so as to permit adjustment of the aerosol parameters, and to control the aerosol transport arrangement so as to permit adjustment of the aerosol delivery into the plasma or flame of the spectrometer.
