Dedicated Analyzer: Mercury Spectrometer ( Atom. ): AFS |
TRUSTED – Referenced in US EPA Methods 1630, 1631 and 245.7 and used in leading research institutes worldwide.
SENSITIVE – Patented optics for reduced light scattering and electronic background correction provide for an instrument sensitivity of less than one picogram allowing for method detection limits of less than 0.1 ng/L or 0.1 parts per trillion for Hg in water.
USER FRIENDLY – Embedded front panel touch controls for easy operation and Brooks Rand GuruTM Software for integration on your PC.
VERSATILE – Can be used for a variety of matrices, including air, water, soil and biota. Easily adapted for total mercury and methyl mercury systems.
Description Atomic fluorescence spectrophotometer with high-resolution (21-bit) analog to digital signal processing electronics. Enhanced optics (US patent 57318473) for reduced light scattering, along with single wavelength filtering, provide extremely high sensitivity measurement capabilities. Electronic subtraction of dark current background further enhances signal-to-noise characteristics
Control Front-panel pushbutton controls include: Detector sensitivity for photomultiplier bias voltage, autozero baseline correction, and peak measurement reset. Microsoft Windowsâ based system software (included) for integration.
LCD Display Real-time display of fluorescence signal level, peak measurement signal, background correction offset level, and PMT bias voltage.
