Hydra IIAA Mercury Analyzer

Description

The Hydra IIAA Mercury Analyzer is a dedicated instrument for mercury analysis based on the cold vapor atomic absorption (CVAA) technique. It is engineered to deliver accurate and reliable measurements of total mercury in liquid and solid samples. The analytical process typically involves converting all mercury in a prepared sample to mercury vapor through chemical reduction. This vapor is then carried into an absorption cell where a light source at the specific wavelength for mercury is used. The amount of light absorbed is directly proportional to the mercury concentration, which is calculated by the instrument's software. The Hydra IIAA is designed for ease of use in a laboratory setting, often featuring automated sample handling, onboard calibration, and user-friendly data reporting. It finds application in fields requiring stringent mercury analysis, such as environmental protection agencies, water treatment facilities, mining operations, and industrial quality control laboratories.
