Spray Chambers

GLASS EXPANSION SPRAY CHAMBERS

Glass Expansion's cyclonic spray chamber designs improve sensitivity, and reduce washout
times and matrix effects. All GE chambers are available with the revolutionary Helix
nebulizer interface, and only Glass Expansion chambers provide all of the following benefits:
Cyclonic design for best sensitivity and precision
Helix totally inert Teflon nebulizer interface
Minimal dead volume for reduced carryover, faster washout and higher sample
throughput
Pre-set nebulizer position
Smooth nebulizer lock and release mechanism
No o-rings to replace
Precise ridge on wall for efficient drainage
Convenient UniFit drain connector

The Tracey cyclonic spray chamber is Glass Expansion's standard glass cyclonic spray
chamber. It gives the best sensitivity, reproducibility and lowest memory effects for standard
ICP analyses.
Material: Borosilicate glass
Volume: 50ml
High sensitivity and reduced matrix effects
Physical reproducibility ~1%
Active scouring of internal surfaces by sample
Faster washout than older coaxial chamber designs
Low RSD's due to highly accurate construction
Positive stop for reproducible nebulizer insertion
Application uptake range 0.2 to 3.0ml/min

The Jacketed Tracey spray chamber is made with an external jacket for the introduction of
coolant for temperature control. Thermostatting to constant temperature helps ensure highly
reproducible results and long term stability. Can also be cooled to suppress volatilization,
allowing the direct aspiration of highly volatile solvents such as naphtha and petrol/gasoline.

The PFA44 spray chamber can be teamed with the OpalMist PFA nebulizer to form the
highest purity, most inert sample introduction system available. There is a system to suit most
ICP-MS models.
Made from ultra-pure PFA - ideal for ultra-trace ICP-MS analyses
Totally inert - impervious to organic solvents and strong acids, even HF
Established Tracey cyclonic design ensures excellent sensitivity and precision
Fast washout enables highest possible sample throughput
Incorporates Helix nebulizer interface - no dead volume, smooth lock and release
mechanism, no o'rings to replace
Volume 44 mL

The Tracey TFE spray chamber replaces the old polypropylene HF-resistant spray chamber.
It is made from PTFE (Teflon) which is more chemically resistant than polypropylene. The
Tracey TFE spray chambers are specially treated to ensure efficient drainage and they offer
better sensitivity and precision than the old polypropylene spray chambers. They can be
teamed with the PolyCon HF-resistant nebulizers to form the ideal chemically inert sample
introduction system for ICP-OES. There is a system available to suit most ICP-OES models.
Made from totally inert PTFE - impervious to organic solvents and strong acids, even
HF
Established Tracey cyclonic design ensures excellent sensitivity and precision
Fast washout enables highest possible sample throughput
Incorporates Helix nebulizer interface - no dead volume, smooth lock and release
mechanism, no o'rings to replace
Volume 50 mL

The Twister cyclonic spray chamber features a central transfer tube which acts as a
secondary particle separator helping separate larger aerosol particles from the sample. This
reduces solvent load in the plasma without compromising detection limits.
Material: Borosilicate glass
Volume: 50ml
Physical reproducibility ~1%
Low RSD's - highly accurate construction similar to Tracey cyclonic, except with
central transfer tube
Application uptake range 0.2 to 3.0ml/min

The Jacketed Twister spray chamber is made with an external jacket for the introduction of
coolant for temperature control. Thermostatting to constant temperature helps ensure highly
reproducible results and long term stability. Can also be cooled to suppress volatilization,
allowing the direct aspiration of highly volatile solvents such as naphtha and petrol/gasoline.
Recommended for analyses of organics samples.

The Cinnabar spray chamber is a mini-cyclonic spray chamber which gives good sensitivity
at very low uptakes. The Cinnabar's design and low volume is ideal for the reduction of
memory and matrix effects and very fast washout.
Material: Borosilicate glass
Volume: 20ml
Physical reproducibility ~1%
Matrix effects 5 times lower than with coaxial chambers
Low RSD's due to highly accurate construction
Positive stop for reproducible nebulizer insertion
Application uptake range ~20 to 600 microlitres/min
Ideal for use with MicroMist nebulizers

The Jacketed Cinnabar spray chamber is made with an external jacket for the introduction
of coolant for temperature control. Thermostatting to constant temperature helps ensure
highly reproducible results and long term stability. Can also be cooled to suppress
volatilization, allowing the direct aspiration of highly volatile solvents such as naphtha and
petrol/gasoline. Ideal for use with MicroMist nebulizers.

The Twinnabar cyclonic spray chamber is a low volume spray chamber with a central
transfer tube (or baffle), combining the benfits of the Twister and the Cinnabar. It combines
excellent precision with a very fast washout.
Material: Borosilicate glass
Volume: 20ml
Physical reproducibility ~1%
Low RSD's due to highly accurate construction
Application uptake range ~20 to 1000 microlitres/min
