Ultrasonic nebulizers

  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-012399",
  "term": "Ultrasonic nebulizers",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "Devices that generate a fine aerosol from a liquid sample by using high-frequency ultrasonic vibrations. A piezoelectric transducer converts electrical energy into mechanical vibrations, which create standing waves in the liquid, leading to the formation of a mist. These nebulizers are often used in atomic spectroscopy techniques, such as inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry (ICP-AES), to introduce samples efficiently into the plasma.",
