Handle with Care: The K3 nebuliser contains delicate parts, especially the fine capillary tube. Always handle it with care to avoid damage, especially to the tip.
Avoid Bending or Impact: Ensure that the nebuliser is not subjected to excessive force, bending, or accidental impacts. Even slight deformities can affect aerosol production.
Proper Storage: When not in use, store the nebuliser in a protective container or case to avoid accidental damage. Ensure the storage area is clean and dry to prevent contamination or corrosion.
Persistent Blockages: If cleaning does not resolve clogging or blockages and the nebuliser performance remains suboptimal, it may be time to replace it.
Cracks or Damage: Any visible cracks or significant damage to the nebuliser body, capillary, or gas ports necessitate immediate replacement to prevent sample loss or gas leaks.
Deteriorated Aerosol Quality: If the nebuliser consistently produces poor-quality aerosol despite cleaning, replacement is recommended.
Reduced Sensitivity: A significant drop in signal sensitivity can be an indication that the nebuliser is not functioning properly due to blockages, contamination, or physical wear.
