Analytical nebulizer
From WikiMD's Food, Medicine & Wellness Encyclopedia
The general term nebulizer refers to an apparatus that converts liquids into a fine mist.
How do they work?[edit | edit source]
- Nozzles also convert liquids into a fine mist, but do so by pressure through small holes.
- Nebulizers generally use gas flows to deliver the mist.
- The most common form of nebulizers are medical appliances such as asthma inhalers or paint spray cans.
- Analytical nebulizers are a special category in that their purpose is to deliver a fine mist to spectrometric instruments for elemental analysis.
- They are necessary parts of inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy (ICP-AES), inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS), and atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS)
