Hydra II AF and Hydra II AF Gold

Product catalog summary
Introduction
Teledyne Leeman Labs offers the Hydra Series of mercury analyzers, known for their high sensitivity and compliance with EPA and international standards. These analyzers use techniques such as cold vapor atomic absorption (CVAA) and fluorescence (CVAF) to analyze liquids, solids, and gases.
Hydra Series Overview
  • Hydra IIAA: Utilizes CVAA for liquid samples with a detection limit of 1 ppt and features a high-capacity autosampler and over-range protection.
  • Hydra IIAF: Employs CVAF for sub-ppt detection, with a dynamic range extending to high ppb levels. The Gold variant includes a gold amalgamation system for lower detection limits.
  • Hydra-C: Allows direct analysis of solid or liquid samples without preparation, using thermal decomposition and atomic absorption.
  • Hydra-CAppendix K: Designed for measuring mercury emissions from industrial sources, compliant with specific EPA methods.
Key Features and Benefits
  • High Sensitivity: Advanced fluorescence detection systems in the Hydra IIAF models achieve detection limits as low as 0.05 ppt with preconcentration.
  • Over-Range Protection: Systems prevent contamination from high mercury samples, ensuring reliable operation.
  • High Throughput: The autosampler processes up to 270 samples, enhancing productivity.
  • Compliance and Standards: Instruments comply with EPA methods 245.7 and 1631E, and European standards.
Unique Features of Hydra IIAF Gold
  • Preconcentration Capability: The gold amalgamation system allows for lower detection limits and compliance with stringent EPA standards.
  • On-Site Certification Assistance: Optional support for meeting EPA method 1631E requirements.
Conclusion
The Hydra Series provides comprehensive solutions for mercury analysis, offering high sensitivity, regulatory compliance, and features that enhance productivity and data quality.
