ICP Accessories for Reliable and Precise Sample Introduction
Laboratory analysis using ICP-MS (Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry) and ICP-OES (Inductively Coupled Plasma Optical Emission Spectrometry) is among the most important instrumental methods for the qualitative and quantitative determination of elements in a wide variety of sample matrices. Due to their high accuracy and sensitivity, their wide linear measurement range, and the ability to perform multi-element analysis, both techniques are widely used in environmental analysis, geochemistry, materials science, food testing, as well as in pharmaceutical and clinical research.
The Perfect Accessories for Your ICP Instrument and Application
At AHF analyentechnik, you can find sample introduction accessories that are perfectly suited to your ICP instrument, application, and sample matrices, helping you achieve reliable and reproducible measurement results. Our ICP product range includes nebulizers, spray chambers, plasma torches, injector tubes, and interface components such as sampler and skimmer cones. The range is complemented by other system-critical components such as plasma shields and high-frequency coils, which contribute to the controlled formation and stable maintenance of the plasma and ensure trouble-free operation. Our ICP products are suitable both for replacing worn components and for the targeted optimization and adaptation of your ICP spectrometer.
ICP Accessories Sorted by Device Model
Please find here a wide selection of sample introduction components for all common ICP instrument models from Agilent, Analytik Jena, HORIBA, Perkin Elmer, Shimadzu, SPECTRO, Thermo, and other instrument manufacturers.
The components supplied by AHF are fully compatible and function identically to the original parts supplied by the manufacturer. In many cases, these are components with identical designs. We can often still offer components for older ICP instrument series as well — just ask us!
Nebulizers, other Accessories, and Pump Tubing for ICP Sample Introduction
ICP Nebulizers by Material and Model Type
Depending on the application, flow rate, and sample matrix, various nebulizer models are available that are tailored to specific analytical requirements: concentric nebulizers made of glass and plastic (PEEK, PFA), Parallel-Path nebulizers, and specialty models such as Cross-Flow, X-Flow, V-Groove, Modified Lichte, and Babington.
Equipment, Tools, and Other Useful ICP Accessories
Useful accessories for installation, monitoring, replacement, and operation of sample introduction systems for ICP-MS and ICP-OES instruments, such as connectors/fittings, sample injectors or probes for autosamplers, devices for measuring sample flow, tools for cleaning nebulizers, and other useful utilities that help you increase productivity in the lab.
Laboratory Pump Tubing by Material and Clips Type
Pump tubing made from various materials (PVC, TPE/Santoprene, silicone, Tygon MH, Solvent Flex, FKM) and in various sizes for the reliable and safe transport of acidic, alkaline, or solvent-containing samples into the ICP instrument. By using the appropriate material, you reduce wear in the system and avoid downtime.
We're Happy to Help Selecting the Right ICP Products
The wide range of applications and sample matrices in ICP analysis places a variety of demands on the sample introduction components of the respective ICP instrument. These range from high-purity, hydrofluoric acid-resistant materials to components that function reliably even at high salt and particle concentrations – but maximum efficiency for routine measurements at high throughput can also be the decisive factor. This makes selecting the right components not always easy.
Our ICP product experts have many years of experience and will be happy to advise you on selecting the right product.
Why High-Quality ICP Components Are Crucial
In elemental analysis at the trace and ultra-trace levels, ICP measurement is the critical step between sample preparation and the evaluation of analytical results. Since it enables the simultaneous determination of numerous elements in a single measurement and delivers reliable results even at very low concentrations, analytical laboratories can efficiently process large sample volumes and meet the requirements of quality assurance, regulatory standards, and scientific research.
Sample introduction plays a particularly important role in this process. It ensures that the sample is introduced into the analytical system in a consistent and reproducible manner. Errors in sample introduction can significantly affect measurement accuracy and compromise the quality of the analytical results. Therefore, stable and controlled sample introduction is essential for reliable measurements.
ICP accessories available at AHF are designed to enable stable sample introduction and consistent analytical conditions. They also help reduce interference and ensure the safe operation of ICP-MS and ICP-OES systems, thereby minimizing downtime.
Custom ICP Component Designs for Specific Applications
If our product range does not include components suitable for your application, sample matrix, or instrument, we can also offer custom ICP component designs. Working closely with you, we can customize accessories or develop new ones. Thanks to our long-standing collaboration with various renowned ICP accessory manufacturers, we can quickly and directly clarify feasibility and terms.
