The greatest threats to all concentric, pneumatic nebulizers are
the entry of fibres and dust,
and the formation of solid precipitates or crystals in the gas orifice.
When a nebulizer is stored it should be clean and dry - and fitted with the soft plastic caps provided.
This photo shows the EPOND PEARL cleaning device for all
concentric glass nebulizers ...
- With this device a cleaning solution can be pumped
manually in reverse,
through both the sample and gas passages.
Favourite cleaning solutions are - Sigma-Aldrich RBS-25 diluted about 20x, Deconex similarly diluted;
- or - either of these, but with the addition of 10% methanol.
When the wet-cleaning process is finished, rinse with DI water and flush dry with compressed air or
inert gas.
The 'Pearl' is also featured in the EPOND web site.
The diagram below shows the 3 main types of blockages that can occur in pneumatic concentric nebulizers :
