10 Reasons to Choose a Hydra AA Mercury Analyzer • Flow-through Rinse for fast Washout Contaminated solution is quickly removed from the sample tip, minimizing sample carryover and providing exceptional baseline stability. • Easy Access Sample Introduction System Is corrosion a problem with your current mercury analyzer? On the Hydra AA all liquids remain outside the instrument chassis, isolating corrosive solutions and allowing easy access for maintenance and cleaning. Easy to learn. Easy to use. Easy to own. The Hydra AA is a fully automated mercury analyzer employing the latest advances in cold vapor atomic absorption spectroscopy to achieve detection limits of 1 ppt. 1 Sensitivity The Hydra AA determines mercury from the low part-per-trillion (ppt) to high part-per-billion (ppb) levels. Robust hardware for superior analytical reliability • High Performance Dual Beam Detection System The Hydra AA’s optical path is the longest in the industry (30 cm) which provides exceptional sensitivity and stability. • Serpentine Phase Separator Handles Foaming Samples Easily All Hydra mercury analyzers feature an integrated gas/liquid separator designed to provide exceptional recoveries of mercury, even in poorly digested samples. It is particularly effective at handling difficult or foaming samples, and has been designed to prevent downstream contamination. This high quality, specially engineered separator is one of the main reasons that the Hydra AA consistently delivers superior results. • Built-in, Maintenance-free Nafion dryer The Nafion dryer is self regenerating and eliminates the need for replacement of chemicals used for drying. Sophisticated Over-Range Protection System Samples high in mercury can cripple competing instruments but not the Hydra AA; it monitors the sample signal and at first appearance of an over range signal will automatically move the sample probe to rinse to clean the system before any undue contamination occurs. Method Compliance Designed to Meet U.S. EPA Methods 245.1, 245.5, 245.6, 7470A and 7471B, as well as European Standards EN-1483 and EN-13806. Automatic Baseline Correction The baseline is corrected before each reading producing drift-free measurements. Why choose a Hydra AA?
