Agilent sampler cones and cone care packages ensure ICP-MS system stability and long lifetime.

• Nickel tipped sampler cones are suitable for most common applications and provide the most economical operation
• Nickel tipped, nickel plated sampler cones are recommended for samples containing >0.5% HCl, or for routine operation with (U)HMI
• Platinum tipped sampler cones are required for analysis of aggressive acids (especially HF) and when O₂/Ar option gas is used for analysis of organic solvents
• Platinum tipped, nickel plated sampler cones are recommended for analysis of aggressive acids (especially HCl, HF, and HClO₄) and for higher-matrix samples
• Platinum tipped sampler cones with large 18 mm insert are recommended for for high-viscosity and high-boiling-point acids (e.g. H2SO₄, H3PO₄), or for the lowest LODs with semiconductor applications
• Cone care kits are also available for all Agilent ICP-MS systems, which bundle all the supplies you need to replace and maintain your interface cones in one convenient package

Agilent nickel or platinum tipped sampler cones use high-purity materials to minimize background and ensure stability within the plasma. Cones are typically the biggest supplies cost in routine ICP-MS operation. Protect your investment and ensure ease of use by choosing genuine Agilent cones.

High-quality interface cones are key to the sensitivity and stability of an ICP-MS. Our sampler cones are manufactured to stringent specifications and rigorously tested to ensure excellent batch to batch reproducibility. The orifice dimensions and tip geometry are optimized and tightly controlled.
