The torch sits inside the plasma compartment of the spectrometer and can be seen
(when in operation) through the plasma viewing window. The torch compartment is
heavily shielded to prevent emission of stray RF energy and UV light.
The following types of torch are available for use with the PlasmaQuant MS:
A standard one-piece torch with 2.4 mm injector, suitable for most applications
An optional semi-demountable torch with platinum or sapphire injector,
recommended for ultra-trace detection limits or for use with hydrofluoric acid and
fusion samples
A torch with 1.5 mm or optional 0.8 mm injector for use with organic samples
