5 Minute Mercury Analysis Without Sample Preparation
Sep 22 2011
Milestone’s (Italy) DMA-80 is a direct mercury analyser which can analyse both solid and liquid matrices with equal precision. Analysis takes only 5 minutes per sample and requires no sample preparation.
All mercury is released from the sample through thermal decomposition. This eliminates the need for any acid digestion or wet chemistry sample treatment and, subsequently, purchasing, handling and disposing of hazardous chemicals.
Therefore, the typical bottleneck in the analytical laboratory is eliminated and productivity is dramatically increased. Analysis is reduced to only a fraction of the cost typically associated with traditional mercury techniques, such as CV-AAS, ICP-AES or ICP-MS.
Typical applications that the DMA-80 is used for include environmental, geochemical, petrochemical, food and feed, clinical and polymer samples.
The DMA-80; achieves a detection limit of 0,0015 ng of mercury, has been shown to save laboratories more than 70% in costs when compared to traditional mercury analysis techniques and is easy to run and maintain.
The DMA-80 is fully compliant with US EPA method 7473 and with ASTM method D-6722-01.
