Burgener Nebulizers Specifications - Selecting the Right Nebulizers

All Burgener Nebulizers use Teflon for the sample passage and for the gas orifice, except for the Mira Mist CE,Enya Mist and X-175 which have Teflon bodies and PEEK sample passage and gas orifice.

Most Burgener Nebulizers are 100% Teflon except for the removable gas fittings, but the PEEK Mira Mist and the Ari Mist use PEEK for the outside body, and Teflon for the inner capillaries.

All Burgener Nebulizers use the patented Enhanced Parallel Path Method of creating a mist. None of the Burgener nebulizers have suction, so liquids must be pumped to the nebulizers.

All Medium Salts, small Particles, good %RSD (< 2%), Excellent sensitivities and low flow capable. Ultra Clean PFA construction.
All wetted parts are PFA.

Designed for ICP/MS low flow applications. Greater stability than Ari Mist HP
Can also do Micro Flow for alcohol, organics: 5 ul/min +
NX - 175 Teflon & PEEK 30 50 - 1000 175 34 mm 6 mm 65 mm 2 mm easy All standard Medium Salts, NO Particles, good %RSD (< 1%), Excellent sensitivities.
Designed for NexION and Bruker/Varian ICP/MS low flow applications with 1.2 L/min gas flow at 50 psi. Greater stability than Ari Mist HP
Can also do Micro Flow for alcohol, organics: 5 ul/min +

or
mini
chamber
Medium Salts, NO Particles, good %RSD (< 1%), Excellent sensitivities.
Works with Burgener Mini Chamber - simpler than direct injection with same advantages.
Micro Flow for alcohol, organics: 5 ul/min +
ENYA Mist Teflon 50 0.2 - 50 60 34 mm 6 mm 65 mm 2 mm easy All
or
mini
chamber
Medium Salts, NO Particles, good %RSD (< 2%), Excellent sensitivities but low flow lowers intensities.
Tiny sample passage allows for split flow - pump 30 - 50X what actually arrives in the nebulizer. The rest goes to the drain. Minimizes oxides in ICP/MS.
