A Modern Approach to Controlling ICP Spray Chamber Temperature Jerry Dulude, Glass Expansion,
Glass Expansion 1 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
Glass Expansion 1 Limitations of other Peltier Controlled Spray Chambers Lack of programmability Insufficient cooling Require external fluid supply Limited temperature range Limited compatibility
Glass Expansion 1 IsoMist™ Programmable Temperature Spray Chamber
Glass Expansion 1 Features of IsoMist Powerful Peltier-effect chiller reaches -5C in 15 minutes Programmable from -10 to 60C in 1 degree increments Maintains temperature to within 0.1 degree Compact design (7.5x4x4 inches) 100% self-contained (no external lines) Incorporates Bluetooth® technology for clean wireless control (USB available)
