Does Your ICP Need a Moisturizer? When and How to Use a Humidifier for ICP-OES Analysis – Typically High TDS Applications

A Humidifier is a water filled chamber through which your argon is bubbled adding moisture and reducing salt build up in your injector. Various high TDS applications will be discussed.
A combination of humidification, injector sizes and sample introduction systems will be discussed.
