8.3 Autosampler Set-up
Figure 37 Autosampler Tubing Set-up
For analysis with an autosampler the capillary tubing attached to the end of the autosampler
probe should be attached to the end of the sample pump tubing on the iCAP 6000. To
minimise the sample volume required the length of the capillary tubing should be minimised,
but should allow free movement over the whole sample area of the autosampler.
9 Hydride Generation
9.1 On-line Hydride Generation Kit
The on-line hydride generation kit is used with the iCAP 6300 ICP spectrometer. It consists of
two pump tubes linked to a Y-piece and mixing loop. Acidified sample solution and sodium
borohydride solution are mixed in the loop to generate the hydride gases. The mixture is
passed to the spray chamber where separation of liquid and hydride gases takes place.
9.1.1 Set Up
To ensure a thorough mixing of the internal standard with the sample a mixing loop is
provided after the Y-piece prior to connecting to the nebuliser.
Pump tubing for the internal standard kit should be installed in a similar manor to the sample
tube and the correct tension set. Detailed instructions are given in Section 6.2.
