13. A method, comprising:
receiving, into a nebulizer assembly, a high-melting-point liquid from a molten liquid conduit, the nebulizer assembly comprising
a heater,
a nebulizer, contained within the heater, and including a first fluid vessel in which the nebulizer is adapted to aerosolize the at least a portion of the high-melting-point liquid received from the molten liquid conduit, and
an evacuator, contained within the heater, and including a second fluid vessel adapted to receive, from the molten liquid conduit, the high-melting-point liquid, the second fluid vessel being operably coupled to the first fluid vessel of the nebulizer;

aerosolizing, using the nebulizer assembly, at least a portion of the received high-melting-point liquid;
delivering, into one or more instruments, the aerosolized high-melting-point liquid from the nebulizer; and
chemically analyzing, using the one or more instruments, the aerosolized high-melting-point liquid.
