ICP - Pneumatic Nebulizer

The most common type of nebulizer for producing an aerosol of the sample is the pneumatic nebulizer, of which there are several different designs.
All pneumatic nebulizers share a common feature:

They use the force of a flowing gas, passing through an orifice or capillary tube, to create microdroplets from the liquid sample.

These droplets are transported via the flowing gas stream to the plasma for decomposition, atomization, and ionization.
