Torches for ICP-MS
The ICP torch is used to form, shape, and sustain an argon plasma which atomizes and ionizes the sample aerosol. Agilent ICP-MS Torches with Shield Torch System (STS) provide precise ion energy control, ensuring high sensitivity and stability, even in cool plasma mode for effective interference removal (ArO+).
Our portfolio is comprised of a wide range of ICP torches for your specific ICP-MS configuration. One-piece quartz torches offer the best stability and ease of use. The large 2.5mm injector on the standard torch gives maximum robustness and lowest matrix interferences for the best plasma stability. Single-piece torches with narrow bore injectors (1.0mm or 1.5 mm) are designed for use with organic solvents, to reduce plasma loading and improve plasma stability. Optional semi-demountable quartz torches with removable platinum or sapphire injectors are also available for use with the PFA inert sample introduction kit.

Product Details
Features
- The standard ICP-MS torch is an easy-mount, one-piece quartz torch with a 2.5 mm ID injector, to ensure a robust plasma that efficiently decomposes the sample matrix, minimizing matrix deposition, signal drift and routine maintenance.
- The torch positioning is maintained by the mounting bracket, ensuring consistent repositioning following routine maintenance or when switching torches.
- Auto-aligned by the motorized torch box with software control to optimize X, Y and Z position.
- The quartz torch is not suitable for samples containing hydrofluoric acid (HF), which will rapidly degrade quartz, for these applications, select our semi-demountable torches with sapphire and platinum injectors
