Wide field of applications

The DMA-80 permits direct analysis of trace level mercury in several matrices in a wide variety of industries and laboratories:

  • Solids: sediment, soil, sludge, food/feed, plant and animal tissues, coal, oil, fish, cement, paints, wood, plastic.
  • Liquids: wastewater, beverages, biological fluids.
  • Environmental, agriculture, petrochemical, food and feed, power plant, mines and resources laboratories.

The simplicity and speed of the DMA-80

Rapid determination of Hg in fresh salmon

1 - A representative sample is taken and homogenized

2 - The sample is weighed on an analytical balance interfaced with the DMA-80

3 - A series of samples is placed in the built-in autosampler

4 - After 5 minutes the first result is obtained
