NEBULIZER SPECIFICATIONS

All Burgener Nebulizers use Teflon for the sample passage and for the gas orifice, except for the Mira Mist CE and Enya Mist which have Teflon bodies and PEEK sample passage and 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

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
PEEK Mira Mist	PEEK	35-45	200 - 2500	425	34 mm	6 mm	67.5 mm	2 mm	possible not likely	All	High Salts, Medium Particles, excellent %RSD (< .7%), very good sensitivities and excellent long term stability. Not appropriate for concentrated acids, some organics.
Teflon Mira Mist	PTFE	35-45	200 - 2500	425	34 mm	6 mm	67.5 mm	2 mm	possible not likely	All	High Salts, Medium Particles, excellent %RSD (< .7%), very good sensitivities and excellent stability. Excellent for all acids, all organics.
T 2100	PTFE	30-40	500 - 2500	750	34 mm	6 mm	67.5 mm	2 mm	Nearly Impossible	All	High Salts, Particles, excellent %RSD (< 1%), very good sensitivities and excellent stability. Excellent for all acids, all organics.
Ari Mist	PEEK	35-45	50 - 1000	225	34 mm	6 mm	67.5 mm	2 mm	easy	All	Medium Salts, NO Particles, good %RSD (< 1%), Excellent sensitivities. Micro Flow for alcohol, organics: 50 ul/min +
Trace	PTFE	35-45	800 - 2500	425-800	28 mm	6 mm	58.4 mm	1/4" Tygon with Luer Lock	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. Discontinued
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.

Nano and Micro Low Flow 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	450	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	150	34 mm	6 mm	67.5 mm	2 mm	easy	All or mini chamber	Medium Salts, NO Particles, good %RSD (< 1%), Excellent sensitivities. Works with Burgener Mini Chamber - simpler than direct injection with same advantages. Micro Flow for alcohol, organics: 5 ul/min +
ENYA Mist	Teflon	50	0.2 - 50	60	34 mm	6 mm	67.5 mm	2 mm	easy	All or mini chamber	Medium Salts, NO Particles, good %RSD (< 2%), Excellent sensitivities but low flow lowers intensities. Tiny sample passage allows for split flow - pump 30 - 50X what actually arrives in the nebulizer. The rest goes to the drain. Minimizes oxides in ICP/MS.

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
SS 50	Stainless Steel	Requires ~ 2 L/min at 50 psi	10 - 10,000	1800	2" - 18"	0.125"	Varies	1/8"	No	Special	High Temperature, low to high flow. Commonly used for material coatings and nano particle production.
LB 30	PTFE or Peek or Any material	Requires ~ 4 L/min at 35-45 psi	2,000 - 50,000	1000	12 mm	1/4" pipe thread	Varies	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.
