PC³ Peltier Cooler SSI Cyclonic/Scott Dual Spray Chamber Sample Introduction Kit for NexION 300/350

The PC³ is a small, robust Peltier cooled cyclonic spray chamber. The PC³ offers the advantages of low memory effects, constant temperature, fast rinse-out, and high sample transport efficiency. The cooled outer walls of the PC³ spray chamber enhance long-term signal stability, reduce polyatomic interferences such as oxides, and reduce solvent loading when volatile organic solvents are analyzed. The PC³ has two preset temperatures +2 °C / -5 °C and is ideal for analysis of aqueous or aqueous/organic mixtures. The PC³-LT operates at +2 °C / -20 °C to reduce the solvent load on the plasma for analysis of 100% volatile organic solvents.

The Stable Sample Introduction (SSI) spray chamber is an all-quartz, o-ring-free spray chamber with an additional mixing chamber to homogenize sample aerosol prior to introduction to the ICP-MS. The SSI chamber improves short-term stability for isotope ratio measurements. The spray chamber may be combined with PC³ to enhance long-term stability. The SSI or PC3-SSI not only improves isotope ratio precision, but is useful for any analysis where better short- and/or long-term signal stability is desired.

Benefits of SSI

• Improves signal stability roughly 2x to 3x
• Improves isotope ratio precision up to 5x
• Reduces cone deposition
• Virtually eliminates the possibility of a flooded torch and the resulting instrument damage

Benefits of SSI with PC³

• Constant temperature improves long-term stability
• Reduces oxides and polyatomic interferences
• No separate chiller required
• Very low maintenance
