# mercury

The International Organisation for Standardisation (ISO) has developed a method for detecting trace amounts of mercury in cosmetic. This method involves the direct analysis of cosmetic samples without the need for sample preparation. This has led to the introduction of ISO 23674, which focuses on direct mercury analysis techniques. In this application report we demonstrate how Milestone DMA-80 evo responds to the requirements of the ISO 23674.

With the cost of reagents and their disposal continually rising, it is important for laboratories to find more cost effective ways to do mercury analysis. With this in mind, Milestone has created a cost comparison to show the benefits of using our DMA-80 evo Direct Mercury Analyzer, which offers more than double the productivity of traditional cold vapor techniques at a fraction of the cost.
