Abstract
Systems and methods for heating a spray chamber outlet are described. A system embodiment includes, but is not limited to, a conductive body portion defining an aperture to receive a spray chamber outlet; and an internal cartridge heater coupled to the conductive body portion, the internal cartridge heater configured to regulate a temperature of the conductive body portion to inhibit condensate formation within the spray chamber outlet.
Claims7
A heating element for a spray chamber outlet in an Inductively Coupled Plasma (ICP) spectrometry system, comprising:
- a conductive body portion defining an aperture to receive the spray chamber outlet and at least a portion of an injector, the conductive body portion at least partially surrounding a portion of the spray chamber outlet coupled between a spray chamber and the injector;
- and
- an internal cartridge heater carried within the conductive body portion, the internal cartridge heater configured to regulate a temperature of the conductive body portion to inhibit condensate formation within the spray chamber outlet.
