Achieving consistent day-to-day analytical performance in your ICP laboratory is now just a click away. So let’s get started using your new Helix CT cyclonic spray chamber. The Helix CT interface consists of two parts, a ConstantTorque Locking Screw and PTFE PressFit ferrule.
To assemble your Helix CT interface, push the PTFE PressFit ferrule into the ConstantTorque Locking Screw until it clicks into place. Next install the Helix CT interface into the spray chamber by gently turning the knurled knob of the Helix CT Locking Screw, clockwise. Do not fully tighten, you want the Locking screw to still turn freely prior to installing your nebulizer.
Next you will fully insert the nebulizer to the end of its travel until the nebulizer side-arm comes into contact with the molded in positive stop of the Helix CT interface. Now hand-tighten the Helix CT locking screw by further turning the knurled knob of the Helix CT clockwise, until the ConstantTorque mechanism clicks, indicating a secure, gas-tight seal. Finally, check that the nebulizer is secure by gently pulling on the nebulizer.
To remove the nebulizer, first loosen the Helix CT interface by turning the knurled knob of the Helix CT Locking Screw counter-clockwise, half of a full turn, then slide the nebulizer straight out. The Helix CT interface is a consumable item that will need to be replaced overtime. To order replacement parts visit our website at geicp.com
And remember, if you already have a Helix spray chamber, you can easily upgrade to the Helix CT interface. The new Helix CT locking screw and PressFit PTFE ferrule are fully compatible with all Glass Expansion Helix style spray chambers.
