Sample introduction: Vapor generator |
The HGX-200 is a specialized system for the generation of volatile hydride species or the reduction of mercury to Hg(0)(cold vapor). Elements of interest that form volatile hydrides include the difficult to measure metaloids As and Se. Important features of hydride generation/cold vapor and the HGX-200 are listed below:- Up to 100 fold improvement in sensitivity for As and Se by ICP-AES and ICP-MS
- Separation of the analytes from potential interferences
- Special U-shaped gas-liquid separator (GLS) with droplet separator for noise reduction
- "Frosted tip" design of GLS for efficient generation of hydride species or Hg(0)
- Additional gas inlet after PTFE membrane folter for optimization of washout time and noise reduction
- Color-coded connection for easy setup and operation
