A Modern Approach to Controlling ICP Spray Chamber Temperature Jerry Dulude, Glass Expansion, jdulude@geicp.com
Limitations of Externally Controlled Spray Chambers • Requires antifreeze solution • Requires bulky floor model chiller • Cumbersome coolant lines from chiller to chamber • Freezing of condensate on lines • Requires intricate jacketed chamber Glass Expansion www.geicp.com 1
Limitations of other Peltier Controlled Spray Chambers • Lack of programmability • Insufficient cooling • Require external fluid supply • Limited temperature range • Limited compatibility Glass Expansion www.geicp.com 1
IsoMist™ Programmable Temperature Spray Chamber Glass Expansion www.geicp.com 1
Features of IsoMist • Powerful Peltier-effect chiller reaches -5C in 15 minutes • Programmable from -10 to 60C in 1 degree increments • Maintains temperature to within 0.1 degree • Compact design (7.5x4x4 inches) • 100% self-contained (no external lines) • Incorporates Bluetooth® technology for clean wireless control (USB available) Glass Expansion www.geicp.com 1

Variety of Cyclonic Spray Chambers • Borosilicate glass: most aqueous and organic applications • Quartz: Trace boron determinations • PFA: HF and ultra trace applications Glass Expansion www.geicp.com 1
Applications of the IsoMist • Analyze volatile solvents – Low temp. • Reduce oxide interferences – Low temp. • Lower detection limits – High temp. • Increase stability – Constant temp. Glass Expansion www.geicp.com 1
Determination of Trace Metals in Naphtha • Interfere with the cracking process • Poisoning of the catalysts • Environmental release concerns • Origin and migration markers Glass Expansion www.geicp.com 1
