Gas supply
CAUTION! Ensure that a gas connector is available!
The operator must ensure that the connector type used on the outlet side of the gas pressure
controller is adequate for the national requirements that apply.
The operator must carry out the necessary safety leakage tests weekly on all gas supplies up
as far as the device. For this, possible pressure losses from closed systems and lines under
pressure are to be determined. Any leak is to be localized and corrected immediately.
If the gas is supplied by pressure cylinders, these must be secured to the wall in an upright
position with cylinder mounts outside the laboratory space.
The following gases are used in conjunction with the PlasmaQuant PQ 9000
Argon as the gas for the torch (plasma gas, additive gas, nebulizer gas)
Argon as the purge gas for the spectrometer and as the cone gas
Oxygen as the additive gas (oxygen can be optionally used as the additive to the nebulizer
gas for selected applications (some organic solvents))
The standard hose length is 5 m. If other hose lengths are preferred, please contact the service
department at Analytik Jena AG.
