Product catalog summary
Overview of Analytical Techniques:
1. Chemical Reduction followed by Cold Vapor Atomic Absorption (CVAA): Suitable for aqueous samples with mercury (Hg) measured from low ng/L to mg/L levels.
2. Chemical Reduction with or without Hg Pre-concentration followed by Cold Vapor Atomic Fluorescence (CVAF): Ideal for aqueous samples requiring the lowest detection levels, measuring Hg from sub ng/L to high µg/L levels.
3. Thermal Decomposition followed by Amalgamation and Atomic Absorption: Used for solid and semi-solid matrices, allowing analysis without sample preparation.
Instrument Detection Limits:
- CVAA: ≤ 5 ng/L
- CVAF with Pre-concentration: ≤ 0.5 ng/L
- Thermal Decomposition: ≤ 0.2 ng
Short Term Precision:
- CVAA: ≤ 3.3% RSD at 20 ng/L
- CVAF with Pre-concentration: ≤ 1.2% RSD at 20 ng/L
- Thermal Decomposition: ≤ 4% RSD at 10 ng
Usable Range:
- CVAA: 5 ng/L – 1 mg/L
- CVAF: <0.05 ng/L – 400 µg/L
- Thermal Decomposition: 0.5 ng – 1500 ng; <25,000 ng with extended range option
Key Capabilities of Mercury Analyzers:
- Hydra IIAA, QuickTrace M-7600, QuickTrace M-8000, Hydra IIC: High-performance gas/liquid separator, priority samples, built-in high concentration protection system, flow-through rinse to minimize carryover, counter-flow Nafion® membrane dryer.
- Hydra IIC: Can be reconfigured for liquids analysis, ultra-trace analysis mode with gold amalgamation for lower detection levels.
Method Selection Guide:
- Various EPA, ASTM, EN, and ISO methods are supported by different analyzers, with specific methods applicable to each model.
