Cetac U-5000AT ultrasonic nebulizer

• 90-day warranty

The CETAC U-5000AT is an enhanced sample introduction system for ICP spectrometry. The system consists of an air-cooled piezoelectric transducer, an aerosol chamber, a temperature controlled heated U-tube and a temperature-controlled condenser. In addition, a built-in drain pump and an auto-tuned stabilized power supply provide excellent reproducibility and reliability.

To operate the U-5000AT, a liquid sample is pumped onto the piezoelectric transducer where the ultrasonic action efficiently converts it to a fine, dense aerosol. The nebulizer carrier gas flow then transports the wet aerosol through a heated U-tube where the solvent is vaporized. Subsequently, most of the solvent vapor is removed from the aerosol stream by passing the stream through a chilled condenser. The result is a dry, analyte-laden aerosol which is introduced to the plasma.

The U-5000AT improves limits of detection by both increasing the analyte transport efficiency and by stripping the solvent from the aerosol thereby reducing the solvent load on the plasma. Compared to typical pneumatic nebulizers, detection of sample analytes is generally enhanced by up to an order of magnitude when using the U-5000AT Ultrasonic Nebulizer. The enhancement in sensitivity is found with both ICP-AES and ICP-MS instruments.

This ultrasonic nebulizer is used and reconditioned. Our technicians test all equipment to confirm that it operates properly and to the manufacturer’s specifications. While we can’t test for a specific analytical application, we will do our best to simulate the conditions under which the equipment will be run. If you have particular testing requirements or requests please let us know and we’ll work with you to make sure these requirements are addressed during testing.

The photos above are representative. Please bear in mind that the equipment shown is currently in storage in our warehouse and that in addition to testing each machine we will clean all the equipment thoroughly prior to shipment. We often have multiple units of each model in stock and sometimes we're unable to feature photos of every single unit. At your request, we can provide photos of the equipment in your order after it has been tested and cleaned.
