GemTip Cross-Flow Nebulizer
9. If you have installed new 1/16-in. tubing, cut the tubing so that it extends
approximately 1/2 in. beyond the nut.
10. For the sample capillary tubing, use a piece of 0.023 in. (inner diameter)
polyethylene tubing (Part No. 09908265). Using a razor blade, bevel the tubing
by cutting it at an angle. Insert the sample capillary tubing into the tubing piece.
Removing the Argon Tip from the End Cap, N0780546
1. Loosen the nut on the argon inlet . Remove the nut along with the tubing and
ferrule. See the next figure.
2. Using your fingers, push the argon tip out from the inside of the end cap, being
careful not to damage it. Do not use any metal tools to remove the nebulizer
tips because this may damage the tips or end cap.
3. Inspect the argon tip. Clean the tip using soap and water or a dilute solution of
nitric acid. An ultrasonic bath may be used.
If you need to replace the tip, be sure to replace it with a red GemTip. GemTips
must be purchased in a set (Part No. N0780676). They are not available
separately.
