mercur – fully automatic Hg ultra trace analysis

Mercury analysis is employed in a wide range of fields. Due to the harmful influence on the human organism, mercury is a focus of close attention - in medical disciplines such as occupational medicine and dentistry, as well as in drinking water and food control. The mercur has been designed for dependable mercury analysis in all these fields. Teamed with the customer support provided by Analytik Jena, the instrument meets the statutory concentration limits.

AFS or AAS - various configurations for the whole range of mercury analysis:

The mercur is available in either AFS or AAS configuration, and for maximum flexibility as a combined AFS and AAS configuration with software-controlled change of the detection technique. Automatic switching between AFS and AAS (mercur DUO) and simple or cascade enrichment (mercur plus, mercur DUO plus) – you have the choice.

mercur AA und mercur AA plus – mercury analyzer based on atomic absorption without or with enrichment

mercur and mercur plus – mercury analyzer based on atomic fluorescence without or with enrichment

mercur DUO und mercur DUO plus – tandem mercury analyzer based on atomic fluorescence and atomic absorption without or with enrichment

Added advantages:

Cold vapor technique:

• The mercur combines highly sensitive detection technology with the cold vapor technique, so it is possible to use the advantages of both techniques.

WinAAS^® - software for comprehensive data processing and quality control

• The software’s automatic and versatile quality control system monitors all analytical data, providing optimum routine operation and research.

Compliance with today’s most stringent statutory regulations

• The instruments are designed to meet all requirements for mercury determination according to:
  • EPA 1631, EPA 245.1, EPA 245.2 EPA 245.7
  • EN 1483, EN 12338, EN 13806, EN 13506

Highly automated

• In combination with an autosampler for maximum sample throughput and easy to operate, mercur meets all expected requirements from a modern routine analysis system.

Fast

• Thanks to time-controlled flow injection with or without autosampler plus the unique FBR routine (Fast Baseline Return)

Safe

• Through the use of a bubble sensor, a specially optimized drying membrane and cascade enrichment.

Efficient

• Due to automated, intelligent gas-liquid control, mercur ensures minimum reagent consumption and short measurement times.
