Abstract:
The present invention relates to a unit for a plasma atomizer device comprising a supply means for supplying a gas for generating a plasma, an atomizer means for atomizing a sample to be analyzed, an injection means for injecting the atomized sample into a plasma generated with the supplied gas, and a support means for holding the supply means, the atomizer means and the injection means. The invention is characterized in that the support means is connectable to a generator chamber wall of the atomizer device in such a manner that the supply means and the injection means are arranged inside the generator chamber.
Abstract:
Torch glassware for use with inductively coupled plasma-optical emission spectrometers is provided. The glassware includes an outer tube and a stream of cool inert gas flowing radially within the inner surface thereof such that the cool inert gas creates a cushion between the tube and hot plasma contained within the stream of cool inert gas. The outer tube includes a sidewall having an open end and having a slot passing therethrough. The slot extends longitudinally along the sidewall from the open end thereof and is defined at least in part by a first longitudinal edge and a second longitudinal edge. The first longitudinal edge is offset radially inwardly from the second longitudinal edge. Stated another way, the tube includes a fixed center, and a distance between the fixed center and the first longitudinal edge is smaller than a distance between the fixed center and the second longitudinal edge.
Abstract:
A flame atomization device, especially for an atom absorption spectrometer, is disclosed. The flame atomization device includes at least one mixer chamber and an atomizer leading into the mixer chamber, and a burner head mounted on the mixer chamber's burner connection piece. A slip casing is mounted so that it can slide between a closed position and an open position in relation to the burner connection piece while, in the open position, at least one pressure reduction outlet is opened in the burner connection piece.
