Burgener Research Nebulizers

ICP and ICP-MS Nebulizers | Burgener Research

Burgener logo

Burgener Nebulizers use the patented Enhanced Parallel Path Method. They work on the basic principal that any body of liquid can be used to produce a fine mist with a gas stream, if they are in close proximity to each other.

This has significantly improved sample throughput to the torch, enabling much lower flow rates and a more stable mist than previously possible.

This design also allows fabrication of the nebulizer out of Teflon® (PTFE, FEP & PFA). Teflon is essentially inert to laboratory chemicals, acids and solvents, and is practically non-wetting, which enhances the nebulizer's ability to operate with high dissolved solids. The common problem of salts forming around the gas stream does not occur with Teflon. Teflon does not wet and the salts do not form.

All Burgener nebulizers fit regular chambers as direct replacements for glass concentric nebulizers.

Aureus Nebulizer
Aureus Nebulizer
Description ID (microns) Cross-Reference(s) AW Part #
Aureus 250 AU6000

The Aureus is designed for ICP/MS and is 100% High Purity PFA including the sample lines, 1/4-28 sample line fittings, the body and the inner capillaries. As with the Teflon Mira Mist, it can be used for any liquid. It has 250 micron ID capillaries, the same as in the PFA 260.

It runs sample flow rates from 50 µl/min up to 2 ml/min. Fits regular chambers as a direct replacement for glass concentric nebulizers. Operates on standard pressures of 35 - 45 psi, with 1 L/min at 50 psi.

T2100

Huge Sample Capillary: 750 microns / 1/32 inch. Designed as replacement for T2002 and BTN. Essentially unpluggable with un-dissolved particles. Can operate on sample flow rates from 500 µl/min up to 3.0 ml/min. Excellent mist, but not quite as good as Mira Mist, but better than most concentrics. Can handle very high level of particles in sample. Fits regular chambers as a direct replacement for glass concentric nebulizers. Operates on standard pressures of 30 - 45 psi.

The T 2100 can be used for any liquid. Salting is very rare, but can occur over long periods of time, especially with high Sodium levels in the solution. Such salting can be cleared easily with a dip in 5 - 10% HF.

T2002 Nebulizer
T2002 Nebulizer
Description ID (microns) Cross-Reference(s) AW Part #
T2002 450 76060534 T2002

The original standard Burgener nebulizer. Works well on most instruments. Fits most chambers. Best results are with Cyclonic Chambers. The T2002 was scheduled to be discontinued in Jan, 2010, but is still being manufactured to meet the continuing demand.

For most applications, the T2100 is a better nebulizer since it handles larger particles, lasts longer, and provides virtually the same intensities and stability.

Very low sample flow, enhanced parallel path design. Standard pressure (40 - 50 psi). Black PEEK body, Teflon sample and gas capillaries. Can operate on sample flow rates from 50 µl/min up to 1.5 ml/min.

Good for ICP and ICP/MS. Only for samples that are particulate free. Fits regular chambers as a direct replacement for glass concentric nebulizers.

X-175 and NX-175 Nebulizer
Description ID (microns) Cross-Reference(s) AW Part #
X-175 175 X-175
NX-175 175 NX-175

Low Flow design for ICP/MS. Peek inner capillaries, PTFE nose, Peek Body for strength and longevity. Sample Capillary: 175 microns. Operates from 50 ul/min to 1 ml/min. Excellent mist, is more stable and has lower %RSD than an Ari Mist. The X-175 is set to run at a bit higher pressure than a Mira Mist, but well within most instruments standard ranges. Uses about 40 psi for .65 L/min

The NX - 175 is set to run higher flows as required for the PerkinElmer NexION and Analytik Jena/Bruker/Varian ICP-MS with 1.2 L/min at 50 psi.

This nebulizer's sample flow rates are much lower than normal for ICP OES.

SC-175 Nebulizer
SC-175 Nebulizer
Description ID (microns) Cross-Reference(s) AW Part #
SC-175 175 SC-175

Very Low Flow designed specifically for single cell analysis for ICP/MS. Peek inner capillaries, PTFE nose, Peek Body for strength and longevity. Sample Capillary: 175 microns. Can operate on sample flow rates from 5 µl/min up to 1 ml/min. The SC-175 is a variation of the X-175, but tuned for very low flow capability.The SC-175 is set to run at a bit higher pressure than a Mira Mist, but well within most instruments standard ranges. Uses about 40 psi for .65 L/min

Note: This nebulizer's sample flow rates are much lower than normal for ICP OES.

PMM4000
PEEK Mira Mist II 500 PMM-2
Mira Mist CE 500 MM CE

The Mira Mist is designed for all ICP systems - both OES and MS. They handle sample flow rates from 200 μl/min up to 2.5 ml/min. They produce a mist with droplet sizes in the 1-10 micron range, and the large inner capillaries can handle high levels of particulates in the samples.

The Teflon Mira Mist can be used for any liquid. The PEEK Mira Mist is easier to make than the Teflon Mira Mist, so it is less expensive. It works for most samples, but not concentrated acids, and not some organic solvents. The PEEK and Teflon Mira Mist operates on standard pressures of 35 - 55 psi.

PEEK and Teflon Mira Mist II nebulizers feature a 1/4-28 thread at the back for the sample line. Made to simplify connections to flow injection and similar attachments. Uses Idex chromatographic fittings, and 1/16” (1.5mm) sample lines.

The Mira Mist CE is designed for ICP-MS - CE interface. Higher pressure (80-90 psi), Very low sample flow (10 μl/min or less), enhanced parallel path design. Can operate on sample flow rates from 10 μl/min up to 2.5 ml/min. With Alcohol solutions can operate down to 1 μl/min. Excellent mist, can handle high level of particulates in sample. Allows CE capillary to extend to tip of nebulizer for zero suction, zero back pressure CE interfacing with ICP / MS.

PFA 250 and PFA 260 Nebulizer
Description ID (microns) Cross-Reference(s) AW Part #
PFA 250 250 PFA 250
PFA 260 250 PFA 260

Low Flow design for ICP/MS. PFA nose and inner capillaries and all wetted parts. Peek body for strength and longevity. Designed for ICP/MS where low flow is desired and PFA only touching the liquids is desired. Operates on sample flow rates from 50μl/min up to 2ml/min. Excellent mist, seems to be more stable, and have lower %RSD than a Mira Mist.

The PFA 250 is set to run higher gas flows for the PE NexION which typically runs at 1.2 L/min. It uses 45 psi for 1 L/min.

The PFA 260 is set to run at higher pressure than a Mira Mist, but well within most instruments standard ranges. It uses about 40 psi for .65 L/min or 60 psi for 1 L/min.

The PFA 250 and PFA 260 can be used for any liquid.

Enya Mist Nebulizer
Enya Mist Nebulizer
Description ID (microns) Cross-Reference(s) AW Part #
Enya Mist 60 EM 6000

Ultra low sample flow, enhanced parallel path design. Standard Pressure (50 psi). Our lowest flow ICP/MS nebulizer.

Can operate on sample flow rates from 200 nanoliters/minute to 200 µl/min.

Designed for ICP/MS - HPLC interface and tiny samples. Produces very low oxides in ICP/MS. Can NOT handle high level of particulates in sample.

Straight chambers are better than cyclonics - sample drops are lost in cyclonics on the wall beside the injection point.
