Nebulizers
All Glass Expansion concentric glass nebulizers feature our unique VitriCone™ capillary construction delivering you the best possible manufacturing precision. Glass Expansion is the only manufacturer that takes thick walled constant-bore tubing and machines the outside to a uniform aerodynamic shape. This guarantees a uniform sample channel, assuring tolerance to high matrix samples and perfect reproducibility. For high purity applications, Glass Expansion offer a Quartz SeaSpray 1mL/min nebulizer.
The OpalMist PFA concentric nebulizer is the nebulizer of choice for high precision analyses requiring the highest chemical resistance to HF, alkalis and organics. The high purity PFA construction makes it ideal for ultra-trace ICP-MS work. The totally inert construction of the OpalMist PFA nebulizer enables it to easily handle even the most corrosive samples, such as those containing high levels of hydrofluoric acid (HF) or reactive organic solvents. The OpalMist features excellent sensitivity, precision and long term stability.
Spray Chambers
The spray chamber is a crucial component of the ICP sample introduction system since it has a profound effect on transport efficiency, precision, and washout. Each Glass Expansion spray chamber incorporates the Helix CT nebulizer interface with ConstantTorque™ technology, which provides a constant, reproducible, inert, gas-tight seal between the nebulizer and spray chamber each and every time. Glass Expansion offers the following spray chambers to accommodate all kinds of samples and applications.
IsoMist MS™
- Next Generation IsoMist-Compact
- DC (Direct Connection) Spray chamber

- Material: Chemically inert construction from Ceramic & PEEK.
- Reduced Build-Up: Minimizes deposits on injector and interface cones.
- Improved Plasma Conditions
High-Efficiency Sample Introduction System
- High efficiency, low uptake, concentric glass nebulizer designed to efficiently nebulize single-cell suspensions without compromising cell integrity.
- Low volume, on-axis, laminar-flow spray chamber directly coupled to the ICP for the highest transport efficiency of the nebulized single-cell suspension.
- Patent pending MicroJet gas adapter which entrains and shapes the aerosol plume to reduce cell deposition onto the spray chamber walls and increase sample transport efficiency.
- An instrument specific mounting bracket to support and install the SC-SIS Kit, ensuring proper alignment of the laminar flow spray chamber.
Torches
Glass Expansion offer 2 torch designs:
- Quartz
- Ceramic
- Interchangeable injectors - choose the optimum injector for your application. Select from quartz for aqueous solutions, narrow bore for organics, wide bore for high dissolved solids.
Cones
Glass Expansion has over 40 years of experience in manufacturing ICP-MS sample introduction components and has earned a world-wide reputation for quality and reliability. We manufacture ICP-MS cones to the same exacting standards as all of our products and they are guaranteed to perform to your satisfaction.
Contour Flared-end Pump Tubing
It can often be quite difficult to insert the sample tube into the peristaltic pump tube. This is particularly so if the peristaltic pump tube has a small internal diameter (ID).To facilitate this connection, Glass Expansion supplies the Contour range of flared-end pump tubing. The flared end of this pump tubing allows the larger sample capillary tubing to be inserted.
