The sampler is the first cone in the NexION’s triple-cone interface and sits in direct contact with the plasma, extracting ions from the central channel into the first vacuum stage before they pass through the skimmer and hyper-skimmer. 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, PerkinElmer offers platinum sampler cones: a general-purpose platinum sampler (N8161140), a sampler for HF and organic solvents (W1033614) and a sampler for sulfur-based acids and solvents (N8145028).
Precision-machined to PerkinElmer’s specifications and tested on PerkinElmer instruments to ensure correct alignment and vacuum seal within the interface.
