NEW E-Torch™ for Thermo PRO Series ICP-OES

Engineered from PEEK, PFA, and Quartz, the E-Torch™ delivers high performance and reliability, with enhanced versatility for a wide range of sample types. Its interchangeable injectors (Quartz, Ceramic, Sapphire) and universal ball joint compatibility make it highly adaptable. The optional ceramic tube set supports HF and high TDS applications, while the demountable tube assembly simplifies maintenance and enables oven cleaning of carbon deposits — ensuring consistent analytical performance with reduced operating costs.

Key Features & Benefits

  • Made from PEEK, PFA & Quartz: For exceptional chemical resistance and long-term durability.
  • Interchangeable Injectors: Choose between Quartz, Ceramic, or Sapphire injectors for optimal performance across all sample types.
  • Universal Compatibility: Connects seamlessly with standard ball joint spray chambers.
  • Performance You Can Trust: Designed to maintain consistent analytical quality and reliability.
  • Ceramic Tube Set (Optional): For HF and high TDS sample applications.
  • Simplified Maintenance: The inner and outer tube assembly allows for simplified cleaning and oven removal of carbon deposits, reducing downtime and running costs.

Ceramic Outer Tube Set

Using a ceramic outer tube on your ICP torch produces a hotter, more robust plasma, which reduces matrix effects and improves detection limits. Compared to a quartz outer tube, the ceramic outer tube has a much longer lifetime, greatly reducing maintenance, cleaning and downtime due to torch failure. In some sample matrices, quartz outer tubes can degrade in hours while the ceramic outer tube may last years under the same conditions.

The ceramic outer tube is ideal for:
  • Analyses at the detection limit as the hotter plasma increases sensitivity.
  • Monitoring of wear metals in engine oils, as quartz outer tubes often suffer cracking and shortened lifetimes due to thermal shock.
  • Analysis of fusion samples where the lithium salts rapidly attack quartz.
  • Measuring high TDS samples that will quickly devitrify the quartz outer tube.
