10.3.1 Cleaning the nebulizer
The nebulizer must be cleaned if particles or high concentrations of salt in the samples
have clogged it up. An indicator that this has occurred is an increase in the nebulizer
gas pressure.
NOTICE
Do not hold the nebulizer by the lateral gas inlet and pull on it. There is a risk of
breakage!
Do not touch the tip of the nebulizer in order to avoid contamination.
Turn off the plasma by clicking on the [P
LASMA] button on the main toolbar or pressing
[F4] before removing the nebulizer.
1. Release the nebulizer gas
connection by uncoupling the line
fitting at the gasbox wall.
2.
Gently twist the nebulizer to
remove it from the spray chamber
end cap,
being careful not to touch
the tip of the nebulizer.
The concentric glass nebulizer is
fragile and easily broken. Handle
it with extreme care.
3.
Disconnect the gas inlet tubing.
4.
Pull out the tubing connector with
the sample capillary from the
sample inlet of the nebulizer.
Wash the nebulizer using the nebulizer cleaning tool. This tool can be ordered from
Analytik Jena.
