Claim Text:
1. A connector assembly configured to join an induction coil to a radio frequency generator to provide, together with a plasma torch, an inductively coupled plasma source for a spectrometer, the connector assembly comprising: a radial clamping member associated with the radio frequency generator, the radial clamping member comprising an internal surface configured to receive an end of an induction coil; and a sealing member, wherein the connector assembly is configured to provide a secure connection between the end of the induction coil and the RF generator that is substantially electrically conductive and substantially liquid-tight without causing lasting deformation of the radial clamping member and wherein the sealing member enables telescopic adjustment of the induction coil position while maintaining the substantially liquid-tight secure connection between the end of the induction coil and the RF generator; and wherein the tightening or fastening of the radial clamping member does not distort or deform the induction coil in any way elastically or plastically.
