DESCRIPTION
Using an ultrasonic nebulizer in conjunction with an optical ICP system is a simple, cost-effective way to increase sensitivity and lower detection limits. While conventional pneumatic nebulizers are generally only 2 to 3% efficient under normal operating conditions, the Thermo Scientific™ CETAC™ U5000AT+ Ultrasonic Nebulizer converts more of the liquid sample into a usable aerosol, with an efficiency of 10 to 15%. The result: enhanced detection limits (up to 10x or greater) for ICP-OES and ICP-MS. The CETAC U5000AT+ Ultrasonic Nebulizer is compatible with the Thermo Scientific™ iCAP™ Series ICP-OES and Thermo Scientific™ Element™ Series HR-ICP-MS systems.
