Paper Cell

The Paper Cell is a laser ablation cell offered as an option to New Wave Research, Inc. UP-213nm laser ablation product line.

• The cell is optimized for the ablation of documents, wafers and electrophoresis gels.
• The simple clamp-and-seal design allows users to analyse of large, flat samples without the need to cut or damage them.
• The Paper Cell is easy to use and can be installed in just a few minutes on any New Wave Research laser ablation system
   

SuperCell

Once a laser induced aerosol is generated it must be transported from the laser chamber to the ICP spectrometer. The dynamics associated with transporting the aerosol to an inductively coupled plasma will have a significant effect on all subsequent data.

Sample chambers designed for laser ablation have traditionally had large, cylindrical volumes (20cc to 80cc). The driving force behind these large volume designs is primarily based on the desire to fit many samples (and standards) in the cell at one time, enhancing analytical throughput. Under normal operating conditions the carrier gas flow through these cells range from 0.5L/min. to 1.5L min-1. (8cc to 25cc sec.-1). For these conventional sample cells the time required for complete evacuation of an aerosol generated by a single laser pulse is > 6 seconds.

• The geometry and flow characteristics of the SuperCellTM has been specifically designed to enable rapid evacuation of the laser generated aerosol in a large format cell.
• Though the cell volume is 33cm3 the aerosol evacuation profiles are similar to sample cells with dramatically smaller volumes.
• In fact transient signal evacuation is typically complete in <2 seconds across the entire sample cell working area
   

CryoCell

The CryoCell is a laser ablation cell offered as an option to New Wave Research's, UP-213nm laser ablation product line. The cell is optimized for the ablation of Ice and biological tissues, without sacrificing analytical performance due to water evaporation from 'web' samples during the Laser Ablation process.

The CryoCell compensates for this by freezing the water and stopping evaporation, CryoCell ensures temperature settings on the sample remain at -30oC throughout the experiment Ablation can cause evaporation of water from ‘wet’ samples.

• Gel plates and biological tissues.
• Peltier cooled to -30 degrees Celsius.

LFC

The Large Format Cell (LFC) is a laser ablation cell offered as an option to New Wave Research's NWR-Platform and UP-Platform ablation systems.

The cell is optimized for accepting large samples up to six inches square, without sacrificing analytical performance due to a large cell volume.

LFC has a superior performance in signal intensity with improved washout time. This is due to a flexible "roving" cup within the cell constraining the spread of the aerosol.
