Innovation that Combats Cone Corrosion

Page Title | Agilent

Big ideas that solve everyday spectroscopy problems

At Agilent, the spirit of innovation is reflected through our efforts to bring industry-changing—and world-changing—ideas to fruition. But sometimes, the innovations that benefit our customers most are those that make life in the lab easier.

Here, we’ll explore several spectroscopy innovations designed to help you overcome common challenges and devote more time to your analyses.

Say “hello” to Jane and Lisa

These busy researchers have many ICP-MS samples to analyze, but only Lisa is using Agilent nickel-plated platinum-tipped cones. See why Jane is getting bogged down with cone maintenance, while Lisa can analyze more samples.

Look closer

Looking to reduce corrosion and increase cone lifetime?

Improve your analytical capabilities with Agilent nickel-plated platinum-tipped sampler cones. They’re designed to resist corrosive acid matrices, such as hydrochloric acid and aqua regia. And, they reduce cleaning frequency, saving you time and minimizing damage from overcleaning. Lab tests have confirmed:

  • Greater than two times longer cone life when running a 10% aqua regia matrices
  • Cleaning frequency reduced by more than three times
  • One-step cleaning using only water sonication

See the difference:

After approximately 1,090 hours of run time with 10% aqua regia.
