The method and nebulizer of the invention provide effective means for providing an atomised sample of a liquid such as an oil suitable for a variety of analytical methods such as, for example, introduction into an inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometer. The method includes the step of heating the liquid prior to atomisation. The nebulizer includes a chamber (40), an inlet (46) for introducing a liquid into the chamber (40), a gas inlet (52) and a heater block (64) for heating the liquid and gas prior to entry into the chamber (40). Atomisation of the liquid is caused by entraining the liquid in a stream of fast-moving gas in region (54) of the chamber (40). |
