CERAWAVE
™
Revolutionary Patented Technology for Efficient Plasma Generation
- Inductively coupled wireless load coil — Patented ceramic ring design transfers microwave energy directly into the plasma with minimal loss
- 99% coupling efficiency — Virtually no energy wasted as heat during plasma generation process
- Non-corrosive, non-consumable — The Cerawave ring does not corrode and requires no scheduled replacement
- No external water chiller required — Eliminates the flood of excess heat and noise that conventional chillers introduce to the laboratory
- Reduced energy and A/C demand — A critical advantage in remote and resource-limited installations
- Delivers highly stable plasma — Due to continuous power match between generator and load, despite changing loads from samples & matrix

N₂ Plasma
Superior sample matrix tolerance from the world's only N₂ ICP source
- Highest energy coupling efficiency — Produces a robust plasma capable of analyzing difficult samples with high solids and organic solvent matrices
- Extended component lifetime — Microwave power generation components greatly outlast RF generators used with conventional Ar plasma systems
- Significant cost savings — N₂ is substantially less expensive than Ar, reducing ongoing operational costs
- Local N₂ generator compatibility — Opens significant ICP application opportunities where Ar supply is unavailable or cost-prohibitive
- Traditional ICP sample introduction components — Compatible with a wide variety of ICP nebulizers and spray chambers
