Abstract: A flow control device for aerosolised sample delivery in an inductively coupled plasma (ICP) analytical system is provided. The device includes a body that at least in part defines a sample flow separating region, the sample flow separating region having a longitudinal flow direction and having an upstream end through which the aerosolised sample enters and a downstream end through which a modified aerosolised sample exits. The body further includes an injection duct having an opening adjacent to the sample flow separating region, the injection duct configured to direct a stream of gas in an injection direction to the sample flow separating region.
