Previously there was no simple way to effectively clean and unblock nebulizers. Now, blocked nebulizers can be safely and easily restored to optimum performance with a revolutionary cleaning tool - the Eluo.
The Eluo is designed to efficiently deliver a cleaning solution through the nebulizer capillary to dislodge particle build-up and thoroughly clean the nebulizer capillary and gas orifice. One simple action does it all. No more messy procedures or shattered nebulizers in ultrasonic baths.
Use the Eluo regularly to maintain nebulizer performance and prolong nebulizer life.
*Daily cleaning with the Eluo can be done by a quick flush with 25% Fluka, followed by flushing 3 times with warm water and a final flush with methanol for faster drying.

Particulates can be found in your samples due to incomplete digestion, contamination from the laboratory environment, or as a precipitate post-digestion. These particulates pose a significant risk for an interruption in production due to a blockage within the capillary tubing, nebulizer, or switching valve. The Guardian In-Line Particle Filter P/N 70-803-1108 provides a simple and effective way to eliminate this risk and significantly reduce the time required to troubleshoot where the blockage is.
This Guardian filter is easily installed on your autosampler probe tubing or sample uptake line to capture and prevent any of these large particulates. The Guardian incorporates a 120 micron filter and is supplied with seals(ferrules) to suit both 1/16 inch (1.6mm) and 1.3mm OD sample tubing.
The purpose-built clog-resistant design is ideal for ICP samples. Any particle build-up is easily removed by back-flushing and ultrasonic cleaning. The PEEK material is suitable for all of the most common ICP solutions.
Back-flushing can be conveniently done using an adaptor connected to the Eluo Nebulizer Cleaning Tool. If you already have the Eluo, you only need to add the adaptor P/N 70-803-1160. If you do not have an Eluo, you will need to purchase the Plunger P/N 70-703-0070 and Barrel P/N 703-0058 or a complete Eluo.

The Guardian DC In-line Non-Return Gas Filter P/N 70-803-1942 from Glass Expansion provides protection for your ICP system in two ways:
The Guardian In-line Non-Return Gas is positioned between the Ar inlet on the Direct Connection nebulizer and the gas supply fitting on the instrument. The In-line Non-Return Filter has a one-way valve that allows argon to flow from the instrument into the nebulizer, but prevents liquid syphoning into the instrument. A unique PolyComb 30-micron filter design protects the nebulizer from particulates from the gas supply or from worn or damaged fittings in the gas lines. Unlike Sintered or Frit style filters, the linear honeycomb structure makes PolyComb most resistant to particulate and dissolved solid clogging.
Syphoning of the sample or rinse solution into the nebulizer argon control module on your ICP can occur at the end of an analytic run when the nebulizer gas pressure is turned off and there is liquid in the sample flow path. It is made worse if the autosampler probe stays in the rinse position at the end of a run.
A real problem using an autosampler for unattended overnight runs, it is a silent, invisible killer of your ICP. Acidified solution in the instrument Ar control module can cause corrosion to electronic sensors in mass flow controllers and damage regulators that can result in expensive repairs to your ICP and un-planned down time.

* Requires a DC Gas Line to directly connect to your ICP nebulizer gas supply. If you do not currently use a Glass Expansion DC style nebulizer, click here for a complete list of available DC Gas Lines.
For a universal connection assembly, you will also need to purchase P/N EL-1 (x2), 70-803-1504, and 70-803-1105.
With the digital display of the TruFlo Sample Monitor, you always know the actual rate of sample uptake to your nebulizer. This enhances the day-to-day reproducibility of your results and reduces the need to repeat measurements due to a blocked nebulizer, worn pump tubing or incorrect clamping of the pump tube.
The TruFlo is a precision device that incorporates an accurate flow sensor to facilitate real-time measurement of low liquid flow rates. The inert flow path comprises PEEK, borosilicate glass and Teflon, making it suitable for use with most liquids. The flow rate can be logged by your computer and displayed on the inbuilt screen. We can even customize the output to fit your requirements.

(In reference to the Eluo, Guardian Inline Particle Filter) It is working very well, as are all the cleaning tools and pre-filter........how great you were in helping me buy the right nebulizer, etc. I could not have asked for any better customer service.
Pharmaceutical Laboratory - USA
(In reference to the Guardian Inline Particle Filter) So far it has worked great, we have noticed significantly less clogged lines.
Fertilizer manufacturer - USA
We have tried the inline filter......and we are pretty happy with its performance. It is able to capture the AgCl ppt......and prevent it from entering the Niagara valve and Seaspray Neb....... The inline filter has reduced the frequency of ICP troubleshooting. Currently, we rinse the filter every two weeks.
Contract laboratory - Canada
(In reference to the Eluo Nebulizer Cleaner) I have used it for years. Great tool to have and use regularly to keep your nebulizer clean.
Consumer products manufacturer - USA
(In reference to the Eluo Nebulizer Cleaner) I have used this and love it. I try to use it about every other week, if I remember.
University Laboratory - USA
(In reference to the TruFlo) It works exceptionally well. I have two units connected to ICPs and have saved a great deal of troubleshooting time because of them.
Manufacturer - USA
(In reference to the TruFlo) A nice piece of kit to help with sample intro troubleshooting.
Minerals Laboratory - Australia
(In reference to the TruFlo) No need to convince me - I consider this an essential tool for every lab that uses ICP-OES, ICP-MS.
University Analytical Chemistry Department - Canada
(In reference to the TruFlo) I just had a frustrating fiasco with a happy ending that might prove helpful to others. We were experiencing random high drifts (>10% over 5 minutes) ... I purchased a liquid flow meter from a popular ICP supplies vendor and installed it on the carrier line. Sure enough, the flow rate was making fairly abrupt changes consistent with the observed drifts in the ICP emission. I finally figured out it was a worn teflon rotor in the FAST switching valve...I have found the sample flow meter to be a very handy diagnostic tool...It is the TruFlo from Glass Expansion. I saw it at Pittcon and remembered it when the problem arose.
