Stop Untimely Degradation

Good news for analysts running hydrofluoric acid digests or samples rich in alkali salts

Do you analyze samples with high total dissolved solids, lithium-ion battery materials, or hydrofluoric acid (HF) digests? If so, you’ve probably experienced the frustration of degradation from repeated exposure to sample matrices, leading to increased maintenance frequency.

The new Agilent fully demountable torch with alumina injector resists degradation and devitrification, even with challenging sample matrices. Available for Agilent 5000 series ICP-OES instruments, this torch provides:

• Durability. Alumina injectors resist devitrification, solarization, and rapid temperature cycling, when compared to quartz injectors.
• Longer lifetime. Alumina injectors are more robust, ensuring longer injector lifetime and reduced maintenance.
• Ease of use. Unlike one-piece or semidemountable torches, fully demountable torches are designed so the injector and tube set can be simply removed⁠—without tools⁠—for cleaning or replacement.

Need help choosing the right ICP-OES torch for your application?

Although a standard torch can handle many applications, you may also need a specialized torch for certain analyses. Our interactive torch selector tool makes it easy to find the recommended torch for your needs. You can search by criteria like sample matrix, mounting preference, and viewing angle.
