ICP analyzer

Abstract

In an ICP analyzer, a spray chamber is provided to improve the efficiency of introducing a sample fluid into a plasma, and that is capable of performing analysis with high sensitivity by suppressing the proportion of a solvent component that reaches a plasma torch. An ICP analyzer, comprises a nebulizer for nebulizing a sample fluid for the purpose of analyzing microscopic impurities within the sample fluid, a plasma torch for introducing nebulized spray into plasma, and a spray chamber, between the nebulizer and the plasma torch, for separating spray made up of microscopic particles, from the spray nebulized by the nebulizer, for introduction into the plasma torch, wherein a heating section is provided at a central portion of the spray chamber, a cooling section is provided at a peripheral section of the spray chamber, and the spray is passed between the heating section and the cooling section.
