Glass Expansion’s new HydraMist spray chamber can be simultaneously used to determine As, Se, Sb and Hg via hydride generation, in addition to the determination of non-hydride forming elements using conventional pneumatic nebulization. The performance of the HydraMist was evaluated on an Agilent 5100 SVDV ICP-OES, and, when paired with a SeaSpray nebulizer, the detection limits for the hydride forming elements were improved between 15- and 50-fold without compromising the analytical performance of the non-hydride forming elements.
