Glass Expansion PE3013-Pt-BF: Boron-Free Platinum Sampler Cone for PerkinElmer NexION ICP-MS
The Glass Expansion PE3013-Pt-BF is the ultimate choice for demanding applications on PerkinElmer NexION series ICP-MS instruments requiring both maximum durability and the lowest possible boron background levels. This premium sampler cone combines the exceptional chemical resistance and longevity of platinum with specialized boron-free manufacturing.
Manufactured to the highest specifications by Glass Expansion, this cone ensures efficient ion sampling from the plasma into the mass spectrometer's vacuum system. Platinum offers superior resistance to aggressive acids and complex matrices compared to nickel, while the boron-free designation makes it essential for accurate ultra-trace determination of boron.
