Hello, I was curious has anyone cleaned the 5800 torch with basic solutions such as NH4OH? If so, did it work? We are thinking of trying to hopefully reduce Boron leaching from the torch.

Hi,
I have never cleaned it with ammonia however I don't think it will affect the torch.
However, since the torch and its components are made of quartz, I believe most B leaching will come from the spray chamber (made of borosilicate glass). B content of the quartz used should be negligible.
Thank you so much for the detailed response. I might try it on one of our older torches and see.
