All mercury is released from the sample through thermal decomposition. This eliminates the need for any sample preparation and, subsequently, purchasing, handling and disposing of hazardous chemicals. Because no sample preparation is required, the typical bottleneck in the analytical laboratory is eliminated.
Therefore, analysis is reduced to only 5 minutes per sample, and at a fraction of the cost typically associated with traditional mercury techniques, such as CV-AAS, ICP-AES or ICP-MS.
