Abstract

A nebuliser outlet (20) comprises one or more first channels (24), wherein the nebuliser outlet (20) is configured such that liquid received by the nebuliser outlet (20) can pass to one or more nebulisation regions via the one or more first channels (24), and one or more second channels (25), wherein the nebuliser outlet (20) is configured such that gas received by the nebuliser outlet (20) can pass to the one or more nebulisation regions via the one or more second channels (25). The one or more first channels (24) comprise a first portion (24a) and a second portion (24b), wherein the first portion (24a) comprises a tubular channel, and wherein the second portion (24b) comprises multiple channels, an annular channel, or a segmented annular channel. The one or more second channels (25) converge with the second portion (24b) at the one or more nebulisation regions.
