| type | CETAC U-5000 AT |
| spec | Ultrasonic nebulizer. Increases sensitivity of ICP measurement by a factor of 10 for most elements by very fine and effective nebulization followed by desolvatization. |
| connection | Connected to ICP by standard Tygon tubing. External replacement for pneumatic nebulizers. Approx. 95 % of sample is transferred into ICP-plasma |
| sample uptake | 0.5 to 1.0 mL /min |
| tips + tricks |
Useless for
ICP-MS when the salt load of sample is high, since the sensitivity
gain stems from preconcentration of sample which also preconcentrates
the bulk salt load of the sample. |
