Abstract:

This paper describes construction details and operating characteristics of a nebulizer developed by Sidney Laskin and used over a period of 30 yr in various laboratories to generate respirable aerosols for whole-animal inhalation exposure studies. Under the proper operating conditions, the device is capable of producing nearly monodisperse aerosols in the respirable size range (1.5 micron volume median diameter with a geometric standard deviation of 1.1) for long periods of time

Atomic Emission Spectroscopy: Instrumentation

Atomic Emission Spectroscopy: Instrumentation

The instrumentation of atomic emission spectrometry (AES) involves various components, including atomization devices that convert samples into gas-phase atoms and ions. There are two main types of atomization devices: continuous and discrete atomizers. Continuous atomizers, like plasmas and flames, introduce samples in a constant stream, while discrete atomizers inject individual samples using syringes or autosamplers. The most common discrete atomizer is the electrothermal atomizer.
