Low Level Mercury Analysis

Flow Injection-Amalgam-Cold Vapor Atomic Absorption Spectrometry System is currently used for the analysis of mercury in waters with a detection limit lower than 1 part per trillion.

Applications:

Analysis of mercury in lakes, rivers and reservoirs
Analysis of mercury in air and air particulate matter
Analysis of mercury in biological tissues, such as fish and plant material
Analysis of mercury in soil and sediments

Multi-elemental Analysis by ICP-MS

Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS) is a powerful technology for detecting multi-elements in a wide variety of sample types including environmental, biological and geological samples at trace concentration levels. ICP-MS has become one of the most attractive detection systems for trace element analysis because it has:

Excellent detection limits
Large linear dynamic range
Rapid multi-elemental analysis
Isotope information

ICP-MS provides both increased efficiency for routine analysis and the flexibility needed for research and development of specialty applications.

• an analytical capability that extends to most elements in the Periodic Table, provides exceptionally low detection limits and also gives isotope information.

 
• the provision to correct or reduce spectral and non-spectral interferences and thereby produce more accurate data.

 
• trace metal contamination-reduced analytical protocols through use of a clean room environment for sample and standard preparation, high purity acids, trace-metal free containers, sample tubes, pipettes, etc.

 
• consistently applied quality control protocols.

 
• assistance with sampling and analysis planning to improve your project efficiency.
