Do you have a backlog of solids and/or semisolid samples you need to analyze for mercury determination? Or are you a teaching laboratory needing an instrument to complete that proposal you wrote? Or a laboratory exploring options to enhance your portfolio? Well, I encourage you to look to Teledyne Leeman Labs for viable options.
If you are familiar with the Teledyne Leeman Labs QuickTrace® mercury systems, our CVAA system and/or CVAF, the QuickTrace® M-7600 and M-8000, you’re in good company, as these are the preferred choice for mercury analyzers around the globe. Countless laboratories have relied on these systems for nearly 30 years, and I suspect they will for the next 30 as well.
With that said, I’m not discussing them in this blog. Instead, I’d like to give you a heads up on one of my favorite techniques: Combustion Atomic Absorption (CAA). CAA is one of my “go to” systems when it comes to thermal desorption experiments, organic mercury extractions and so much more. Why wouldn’t you want to receive a mercury concentration value in 4 to 12 minutes, depending on the sample type? I can’t think of a reason; can you? The Hydra IIC from Teledyne Leeman Labs is affordable, and at a cost per determination of less than 2 USD, it is a fantastic option for your laboratory’s solid sample dilemma or research, and a unique teaching tool for those incoming “blank canvas” students needing instrumentation exposure.
I encourage you to visit our resources page and discover the possibilities. But stay tuned and keep an eye out for mercury determination of soils with mercury values greater than 30 mg/Kg using calibration points up to 2000 ng of mercury.
