• Helix CT ICP Spray Chamber (Feb 22, 2021)

  The new Helix CT locking screw and seal is now standard on all Glass Expansion spray chambers with Helix interface. The Helix CT with ConstantTorque technology uses a ratchet mechanism to provide a zero dead-volume, gas-tight seal between nebulizer and spray chamber for consistent nebulizer performance day-in and day-out. The Helix CT locking screw and seal are made of inert materials chemically resistant to all acids and organic solvents commonly used in atomic spectroscopy.

• Glass Expansion Patented* D-Torch Demountable Torches (Feb 22, 2021)

  The D-Torch is a revolutionary demountable torch. A single, precision-engineered D-Torch can lower running costs and provide the flexibility to run any sample matrix with an interchangeable injector. There’s no need to have different torches for organics, HF or best detection limits. The unique ceramic outer provides an ICP torch that does not devitrify due to high salts or fracture when exposed to organic solvents. The ceramic outer tube also provides a higher average signal intensity.
