| Cross-flow |
PVDF
fluorinated polymer. Good chemical resistance for most acids and organic
solvents. |
For
use with Scott style spray chambers. High stability. Great high-solids
capability. |
Moderate
sensitivity due to wide range of droplet size. |
| Babington
V-Groove |
PEEK.
Good chemical resistance for most acids and organic solvents. |
For
use with Scott style and cyclonic spray chambers. Great high solids
capability. |
Moderate
sensitivity. Original V-Groove design. |
| Noordermeer
V-Groove |
Quartz
or borosilicate. Good for most acids and organic solvents. Not recommended
for HF. |
For
use with Scott style and cyclonic spray chambers. Great high-solids
capability. Same principle as Babington. |
Moderate
to high sensitivity for a high-solids nebulizer. Better efficiency
than a Babington V-Groove. |
| Modified
Lichte |
Quartz
or borosilicate. Good for most acids and organic solvents. Not recommended
for HF. |
For
use with Modified Lichte spray chamber. Unique patented design. Great
high solids capability. |
Great
sensitivity. Patented design with impingement bead to further atomize
aerosol resulting in uniform droplet size. |
| Glass
Concentric |
Quartz
or borosilicate. Good for most acids and organic solvents. Not recommended
for HF. |
For
use with Scott style and cyclonic spray chambers. Not recommended
for high-solids applications. |
Great
sensitivity due to uniform droplet size inherent in the concentric
design. |
| PFA
Concentric |
PFA
perfluoro polymer. Good for all acids and common organic solvents.
Highly recommended for HF applications |
For
use with Scott style and cyclonic spray chambers. Great for samples
with high dissolved solids. Not intended for high suspended solids. |
Great
sensitivity due to uniform droplet size inherent in the concentric
design. |
