Conclusions
A comparative evaluation of a Glass Expansion sample introduction
system consisting of the DuraMist DC nebulizer coupled with the
Twister PTFE spray chamber against the NCPN and CrossFlow
nebulizers coupled with a PPS Scott-type spray chamber indicates
that the Glass Expansion sample introduction system yields the best
sensitivity, SRBR and precision.

Customer Comments
1. Thank you for your great products! Every day when I run the
Arcos with the TFE spray chamber, the ceramic D-torch and
DuraMist nebulizer, I say Thanks, GE!
Chemical supplier - USA
2. The Duramist Nebulizer performs very well. The Si background
is as low as they have ever seen, and the stability of the
Duramist has proven excellent.
ICP company - USA
3. Not all ceramic injectors are the same. Some of them are
completely unacceptable for measuring Si in HF solutions.
We had a lot of trouble with them until we tried one from Glass
Expansion.
University - USA
4. I just replaced my HF spray chamber with yours and used it with
your OpalMist nebulizer. I am now getting twice the signal as
before and my nebulizer no longer clogs.
