The atomizer is a key component of the ICP sample introduction system. Glass Expansion began manufacturing atomizers in the early 1980s and continuously updated their designs to improve performance and usability. The proprietary design of Glass Expansion includes thick walled VitriCone capillaries, UniFit sample tube connectors, and Direct Connect (DC) gas tube connectors. The ICP laboratory can provide suitable atomizer products for analyzing clean water samples, samples containing HF and/or highly soluble salts, or samples containing volatile organic solvents.
