HINTS FOR THE OPERATOR
Safeguard your ICP-MS cones with Glass Expansion’s NEW ConeGuard
Some ICP-MS cones are clamped to the base and others have a screw thread and are screwed onto the base.
With the threaded cones, it is very important to look after the threaded part of the cone. One potential problem is
corrosion of the thread when the cone is placed in a corrosive solution for cleaning. The new ConeGuard Thread
Protector seals the thread and protects it from exposure to the cleaning solution. To clean your cone without
damaging the thread, the most effective procedure is:
1. Screw the ConeGuard onto your cone. 2. Place the Cone and ConeGuard in a
ziplock plastic bag half filled with your
cleaning solution.
3. Float the ziplock bag in an ultrasonic
bath filled with water and sonicate for
5 to 10 minutes. The use of the ziplock
bag prevents the cone from contacting
the hard surfaces of the bath and
also reduces the amount of cleaning
For full details of cone cleaning procedures, please refer to the Care of ICP-MS Cones solution required.
