NEBULIZER SPECIFICATIONS

All Burgener Nebulizers use Teflon for the sample passage and for the gas orifice.
Most Burgener Nebulizers are 100% Teflon except for the removable gas fittings, but the PEEK Mira Mist and the Ari Mist use PEEK for the outside body, and Teflon for the inner capillaries.
All Burgener Nebulizers use the patented Parallel Path method and the patented Enhanced Parallel Path Method of creating a mist, including the Burgener Legere Nebulizer which uses the Enhanced Method in a Bavington V Groove shape. None of our nebulizers have suction, so liquids must be pumped to the nebulizers.

Standard Nebulizers

T2002	PTFE	35-45	800 - 2500	425-800	28 mm	6 mm	58.4 mm	1/8", 1/4", 4 mm available.	No	All	High Salts, Particles, good %RSD (< 1%), good sensitivities. Can not plug nebulizer - inner sample passage larger than capillary used to carry sample from pump to nebulizer.
BTS 50	PTFE	35-45	800 - 2500	425-800	19 mm	6 mm	58.4 mm	1/8", 1/4", 4 mm available.	No	Limited	High Salts, Particles, good %RSD (< 1%), good sensitivities Designed for ARL and older chambers. Works with Scott Double pass chambers. Does not fit cyclonic chambers

Special Purpose Nebulizers

Model	Body Material	psi Operating Pressure at .8 l/min	Sample Flow microliters/min	Sample Capillary I.D. microns	Nose Length	Nose Diameter	Overall Length	Standard Gas Line	Pluggable	Appropriate Chamber	Comments
Mira Mist - CE	PEEK	75-90	2 - 2500	425	34 mm	6 mm	67.5 mm	2 mm	possible not likely	All or mini chamber	Designed for CE / ICP / MS. Allows CE capillary to extend to tip. Also runs as excellent nebulizer without CE capillary.
Ari Mist HP	PEEK	65-95	5 - 1000	75	34 mm	6 mm	67.5 mm	2 mm	easy	All or mini chamber	Medium Salts, NO Particles, good %RSD (< 1%), Excelent sensitivities. Works with Burgener Mini Chamber - simpler than direct injection with same advantages.
T2002-HP	PTFE	75-100	800 - 2500	425-800	28 mm	6 mm	58.4 mm	1/8", 1/4", 4 mm available.	No	All	Same as T2002, but with smaller gas orifice. Produces 10% - 30% increase in intensities depending on solutions.
Legere	PTFE	80-100	500 - 2500	425-800	18 mm	23.4 mm	31.2 mm	1/8"	No	Limited	High Salts, Particles, excellent %RSD (< .5%), excellent sensitivities Can run much lower flow rates for organic solvents and alcohols. Designed for Seiko, ARL and large chambers. Does not fit cyclonic chambers
BTS 100	PTFE	75-100	800 - 2500	425-800	19 mm	6 mm	58.4 mm	1/8", 1/4", 4 mm available.	No	Limited	Same as BTS 50 but with smaller gas orifice. Produces 10% - 30% increase in intensities depending on solutions. High Salts, Particles, better %RSD (< .7%), better sensitivities Designed for ARL and older chambers. Works with Scott Double pass chambers. Does not fit cyclonic chambers
BTS 30	PTFE	35-45	800 - 2500	425-800	19 mm	6 mm	58.4 mm	1/8", 1/4", 4 mm available.	No	Limited	Same as BTS 50, but with larger gas orifice for torches requiring 1.5 l/min flows. High flow torches are not commonly in usage, so this is rarely requested.
LB 30	PTFE	Requires ~ 4 L/min at 35-45 psi	2,000 - 50,000	1000	12 mm	1/4" pipe thread	60 mm	1/8"	No	Industrial	High Sample Flow, excellent mist. Runs 2 to 50 ml/min, with optimum from 5 to 35 ml/min. Designed for industrial applications, not for ICP analysis.
