The CETAC Aridus3​ Desolvating Nebulizer System is a specialized liquid sample introductio​n accessory for inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP‑MS). The Aridus3 can enhance analyte sensitivity up to 10 times or more ​​​and can greatly reduce solvent-based interferences such as oxides and hydrides. The Aridus3 couples a low-flow (50, 100, or 200 µL/min) PFA nebulizer and a heated PFA spray chamber with an inert fluoropolymer membrane. This combination provides enhanced analyte sensitivity while reducing solvent based interferences such as oxides and hydrides. The Aridus3 is particularly advantageous for small volume and highly corrosive samples such as those generated in the earth sciences and the semiconductor industry.

The highly successful Apex systems maximize ICP & ICPMS sensitivity by increasing sample transport efficiency while also enhancing stability. Apex systems maximize sensitivity by up to 10x by nebulizing liquid samples first into a heated cyclonic spray chamber. Then, multi-stage Peltier-cooled condensing chambers remove much of the solvent vapor, reducing solvent load on the plasma

• O-ring free quartz flow path & N2 addition control
• Maximizes signal intensity by up to 3-10x
• Dual preset temperature settings for spray chamber (100°C or 140°C) and multi-pass condenser (2°C or -5°C) temperatures
• Additional mixing chamber that homogenizes and further stabilizes sample aerosol stream
• Recommended for isotope ratio measurements
