Hydra II Mercury Analyzers

Description

The Hydra II series represents a line of analytical instruments designed for the detection and quantification of mercury. These analyzers utilize established methodologies, such as cold vapor atomic absorption (CVAA) or atomic fluorescence spectrometry (AFS), to provide precise measurements of mercury content in various sample matrices, including water, soils, and biological tissues. Typical operation involves sample preparation, often including digestion, followed by the reduction of mercury ions to elemental mercury vapor. The instrument then measures the mercury concentration, offering high sensitivity capable of detecting trace levels. Systems in this series are generally configured for laboratory use, featuring automated sample introduction, data processing software, and compliance with relevant environmental and industrial testing standards. They are employed in applications ranging from environmental monitoring and industrial effluent testing to food safety and clinical research.
