Customized accessories for precise ICP analyses

AHF analysentechnik offers a wide range of components for sample introduction in ICP instruments for many different applications. Our product portfolio includes nebulizers, spray chambers, torches, cones, pump tubing, etc. for more than 50 different ICP instruments –   even for older models. Inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES) and mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) belong to the most important analytical methods for detection of elemental traces. They are used in various fields, like food analysis, environmental analysis, process monitoring, pharmaceutical industry, geochemistry, battery research or semi-conductor analysis. Due to the wide range of applications and sample types the requirements to the sample introduction components strongly differ. Some applications require high purity or resistance against hydrofluoric acid –   some require components that can handle high contents of dissolved solids or particles and sometimes maximum efficiency for routine measurements with high sample throughput is the key. In order to deal with this issue, AHF provides spare parts for sample introduction in ICP in various designs and materials like borosilicate, quartz or polymers to choose from. Our product range covers parts for ICP instruments of many different manufacturers, like Agilent, Analytik Jena, HORIBA Jobin Yvon, PerkinElmer, SPECTRO, Thermo, etc. We are happy to advise you in choosing the matching parts. We can also offer customized designs. Profit from our long-term experience in the field of ICP.
