The skimmer is the second cone in the NexION’s triple-cone interface, positioned between the sampler and hyper-skimmer to extract the central portion of the ion beam before it reaches the ion optics. Its large-orifice design provides superior long-term signal stability and resists clogging during extended runs of samples containing high dissolved solids, allowing analysis under both high and low sample-uptake conditions.
Nickel is a rugged, long-lasting cone material for the majority of aqueous and acid-digested samples across environmental, food, clinical and geological applications; for more corrosive matrices, including HF and organic solvents, the platinum skimmer cone (W1026907) is recommended.
Precision-machined to PerkinElmer’s specifications and tested on PerkinElmer instruments to ensure correct alignment and vacuum seal within the interface.
- Pairs with the nickel sampler cone (W1033612) and hyper-skimmer cone (W1033995) to complete the interface
- Fitted and removed with the cone removal tool (W1034694); sampler gasket W1040148 sold separately
- Included in the NexION 300/350 Q/X/D (N8140513), NexION 1000 (N8150058), NexION 2000B/C/P (N8150052, N8150055, N8150056) and NexION 1100 (N8170104) consumable kits
