Abstract
A sliding door assembly () for an inductively coupled plasma torch box () reduces the risk of heat related injuries and facilitates the handling of the torch box. The door assembly () comprises a door and a guiding mechanism () for allowing movement of the door in a first direction along an opening () of the torch box () so as to be able to open and close the torch box, and allowing movement of the door in a second direction, substantially perpendicular to the first direction, so as to move the door or at least a part thereof towards the opening when closing the torch box. The door may comprise an inner door panel interconnected with an outer door panel, so that only the inner door panel moves in the second direction, towards the opening () of the torch box () to tightly close it, while the outer door panel can maintain a safe temperature during operation.
