Platinum Skimmer Cone (N8161041) – Platinum skimmer cone for PerkinElmer NexION 5000 ICP-MS. Recommended for high TDS & corrosive samples, including HF (e.g., high matrix samples, samples with >5% acid matrix, HF). More durable, longer-lasting, & because it runs hotter it requires less frequent cleaning. Use 10x Magnifier Inspection Tool with Built-In LED Illumination (NC2042261) to inspect cone orifice condition. When not in use, keep cones stored in original packaging for protection. Use skimmer ConeGuard to protect cone threads during cleaning, 70-803-1026.For an economic alternative to a platinum skimmer cone for standard samples and routine operation, we recommend Nickel Skimmer Cones, PE4012-Ni; and Nickel Hyper Skimmer Cones, PE4015-Ni. For a Nickel Sampler Cone, use 501907684.Glass Expansion is ISO 9001:2015 certified by AB Certification, No. AU4501-9001
