The IsoMist Temperature-Programmable Spray Chamber

Enhanced Performance for ICP-MS and ICP-OES

The IsoMist Programmable Temperature Spray Chamber provides the benefits of a temperature-controlled ICP sample introduction system in a compact, convenient package.

Peltier Effect Temperature Control

Temperature is electronically controlled using a powerful inbuilt Peltier device. You can select any temperature between -10C and +60C in 1C increments to provide the optimum conditions for any application. The rapid response of the Peltier device allows a spray chamber temperature of -5C to be reached within 15 minutes.

Versatile Computer Interface

For maximum convenience, the IsoMist can be controlled from your PC via a Bluetooth® wireless interface or a standard USB network connection. The spray chamber temperature can be monitored through a temperature versus time plot on your PC screen. And, for regulatory compliance, the temperature versus time data file can be saved with your results. If these features are not required, once the temperature has been programmed, the IsoMist can be run in stand-alone mode without a PC connection.

Reduced Oxide Interferences in ICP-MS

By introducing the sample at low temperature, the IsoMist reduces oxides, resulting in fewer interferences and improved detection limits.

Perfect for Volatile Organics

The temperature can be set as low as -10C to reduce the solvent load on the plasma and allow the straightforward ICP-MS or ICP-OES analysis of even the most volatile organic solvents.

Constant Temperature Improves Stability

By thermostatting the spray chamber at a constant temperature, the IsoMist significantly improves long-term signal stability and increases the likelihood of calibration checks passing.

Heating Mode Enhances Sensitivity

The sensitivity for many analyses is enhanced by running the spray chamber at an elevated temperature, a feature that is particularly important for samples with limited volume.

Proven Cyclonic Spray Chamber

The IsoMist incorporates the proven Twister cyclonic spray chamber, combining excellent sensitivity and precision with exceptionally fast washout. The Helix nebulizer interface has zero dead volume and provides for convenient nebulizer insertion and removal. This system is compatible with the full range of Glass Expansion nebulizers.

Completely Self-Contained Ergonomic Package

The compact design includes a rugged, low maintenance, chemically-resistant polypropylene housing. It provides a much more convenient alternative to a jacketed spray chamber with an external chiller because it does not require an external source of coolant. It is compatible with almost all ICP-MS and ICP-OES models.

IsoMist Programmable Temperature Spray Chamber Ordering Information

Optional PFA and Quartz Spray Chambers

The IsoMist can be ordered with PFA or quartz spray chambers installed in place of the standard glass spray chamber. Simple add a "P" for PFA or a "Q" for quartz to the part number for the standard kit, (i.e. KT-1010P for PFA or KT-1010Q for quartz).
