A UNIVERSAL PROGRAMMABLE TEMPERATURE SPRAY CHAMBER Jerry Dulude, Glass Expansion,
Glass Expansion 1 Limitations of Room Temperature Spray Chambers Intensity drift with temperature Excessive plasma loading (volatile solvents) Excessive oxide formation Insufficient control of analyte transport
Glass Expansion 1 Limitations of Externally Controlled Spray Chambers Requires antifreeze solution Requires bulky floor model chiller Messy coolant lines from chiller to chamber Freezing of condensate on lines Requires intricate jacketed chamber
