The new Agilent V-groove, inert, high TDS nebulizer (p/n G8020-69001) has been introduced for the Agilent 5800/5900 and 5100/5110 ICP-OES, 4200/4100 MP-AES instruments, and legacy 700-series/Vista ICP-OES instruments.
Key Features of the Agilent V-groove Nebulizer
- Robust Construction: Suitable for use with most application matrices, including hydrofluoric (HF) acid and organic solvents.
- High TDS Handling: Ideal for samples containing up to 30% total dissolved solids (TDS) and capable of handling unfiltered solutions with particle sizes up to 350µm in diameter without blockages.
- Recommended Applications: Lithium-ion battery industry samples (e.g., lithium carbonates, hydroxides, sulfates, brines, black-mass), sea water, and semi-volatile organic applications (e.g., wear metals).
Benefits of the Agilent V-groove Nebulizer
- Virtually Unblockable: Ideal for samples with high TDS (30%) and/or large suspended particulates (up to 350 μm).
- Enhanced Productivity: Reduces prefiltering, sample re-runs, and frequent maintenance.
- Robust: Virtually no risk of blockage or damage, even with large particulates or accidental drops.
- Inert: PEEK body and ceramic-tip ensure compatibility with virtually any sample, including organic solvents and geochemical digests with HF or other strong acid mixtures.
- Easy to Use: Simply replace your existing inert or high TDS nebulizer with the V-groove. No other method changes are required.
- Simple Maintenance: Eliminate unplanned blockages by rinsing after analysis and cleaning regularly.
