Limitations of Room Temperature
Spray Chambers
 Sensitivity drift with temperature
 Excessive plasma loading (volatile solvents)
 Excessive oxide formation
 Insufficient control of analyte transport

Limitations of Externally Controlled
Spray Chambers
 Requires antifreeze solution
 Requires bulky floor model chiller
 Cumbersome coolant lines from chiller to
chamber
 Freezing of condensate on lines
 Requires intricate jacketed chamber

Determination of Trace Metals in
Naphtha
 Interfere with the cracking process
 Poisoning of the catalysts
 Environmental release concerns
 Origin and migration markers
Too volatile for room temperature analysis due to
excessive plasma loading

IsoMist Benefits
 Enables the analysis of volatile organics
 Enhances sensitivity for limited volume
samples
 Reduces isobaric oxide interferences
 Increases the chance of passing QC’s
 Provides a record for regulatory compliance

2C = 10% shift in sensitivity
