Experience state-of-the-art technology and unparalleled precision with the U5000AT+ Ultrasonic Nebulizer. This nebulizer, designed for high-performance sample introduction for ICP-AES and ICP-MS analysis, offers up to 10x lower element detection limits and is guaranteed to enhance your laboratory operations.
The U5000AT+ Ultrasonic Nebulizer works by introducing samples onto a highly efficient piezoelectric transducer, providing greater sample transport efficiency to the Inductively Coupled Plasma (ICP). Unlike conventional pneumatic nebulizers that offer only 2-3% efficiency, the U5000AT+ boasts an efficiency of 10-15%, improving analyte signal by up to 10 times. It’s designed to provide short-term (1 hour) and long-term (8 hours) signal stability, with %RSDs typically < 1%. No adjustments are needed for different sample types, thanks to the built-in auto-tuning oscillator.
The U5000AT+ is also equipped with an efficient, built-in electrothermal desolvation system, eliminating the need for a recirculating chiller, saving valuable bench space and reducing maintenance. An on-board drain pump effectively removes excess sample liquid from the spray chamber and condensers.
The U5000AT+ Ultrasonic Nebulizer offers an easy, quick setup with an interface kit provided for quick connection to the host ICP-AES or ICP-MS. The interface kit includes a nebulizer gas line and a sample out line with the appropriate ICP torch adapter. Once a liquid sample is introduced, just press the yellow operate button to generate the aerosol.
The U5000AT+ is designed to fit seamlessly into any laboratory setting. With its compact footprint, it’s ideal for benchtop operation or can be placed on a laboratory cart. It is suitable for continuous introduction of liquid samples via an autosampler such as the CETAC ASX-280/560.
Its modular design also allows for easy replacement of the entire glassware assembly, making it extremely versatile when switching between different sample types (e.g., low dissolved solids vs high dissolved solids; aqueous vs organic).
