Selenium species have been separated by using RPLC with an oscillating capillary nebulizer [19]. A C18 column was used along with an optimized mobile phase. Detection limits were found to be in the 30-to 400-pg (as Se) range, depending on the Se species (Fig. 10.5).

A special type of pneumatic nebulizer is the oscillating nebulizer, described by Wang et al. [123] (see Fig. 47) [124]. Here the droplet distribution is narrow, the...

Ultrasonic nebulizers (USN) operate by having the hquid sample pumped onto an oscillating quartz plate. The frequency of oscillation of the quartz plate for a commercial USN is 1.4 MHz, for example. The rapid oscillations of the quartz plate break the liquid film into an aerosol. This aerosol is of very fine, uniform droplets, unlike the aerosol from a pneumatic nebulizer. The fine aerosol contains a significant amount of solvent that must be... 

Omron launched a battery-operated hand-held nebulizer in 1994 (in Japan, model NE-U03) (15), which has recently been updated (in Japan, model NE-U14). The Omron nebulizer employs a ceramic mesh and double-horn oscillator that combine to release a fairly fine liquid aerosol with relatively low power consumption. A unit is pictured in Fig. 4 and its operation schematically...
