A reliable alternative to ICP-MS for mercury analysis

10 Jan 2025

Mercury is a heavy metal that causes serious health problems in exposed subjects, and analysis of mercury can be challenging. Numerous analytical methods are available for total mercury analysis, such as cold vapor atomic absorption spectroscopy (CV-AAS), cold vapor atomic fluorescence spectroscopy (CV-AFS), and inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). Analytical laboratories are looking for solutions to analyze mercury avoiding the common ICP-MS challenges related to this element.

Milestone showcases the reliability and ease of use of thermal decomposition amalgamation atomic absorption spectrometry (DMA-80). Learn more about how the DMA-80 evo Direct Mercury Analyzer can benefit your research and streamline workflows.

DMA-80 Direct Mercury Analyzer

Milestone

The DMA-80 mercury determination system can analyze any matrix (solid, liquid or gas) without any pre-treatment or chemical additions in as few as 6 minutes in full compliance with EPA method 7473. With thousands of units installed, Milestone defines the benchmark for direct mercury determination a wide range of industries: environmental, food energy, cement, cosmetics, agriculture, mining and petrochemical.
