CHALLENGE

At YORK, almost every project had unique requirements and the CVAA method for mercury analysis posed many challenges. It was hard to comply with rush deliveries. In addition, the chemist’s exposure to acid vapors for mercury analysis increased the overall health risks.
From the customer voice:
“Milestone’s DMA-80 is constantly running. It is greener than CVAA, quicker and provides better results. The lab specialists working on the DMA-80, fully utilize the instrument’s auto blank feature, especially while testing soils. It allows them to achieve analytical blank prior to analysis and get perfect results without any cross-contamination from a previous run. We find the DMA-80 very user-friendly and the open architecture of the instrument is a big plus for our team”

IMPLEMENTATION of DMA-80

We acquired our first unit about 3 years ago to analyze waste water and soils samples. As we grew, and the number of our projects increased, we purchased our second unit. We are now processing waste waters on one DMA-80 and soils on the other unit. It helps our laboratory prevent cross contamination and minimize the wear on the instrument parts.”
Under the direction of Dr. Robert Bradley, York analyzes many matrices including air, soils, ground water, wastewater and sludge samples. In addition to two DMA-80 instruments, the other in-house equipment includes LC/GC instrumentation for organics work, ICP-MS and ICP-OES for metals testing, and the Milestone ETHOS microwave digestion and extraction systems are used to prepare York’s samples.

DMA-80 evo

The DMA-80 mercury determination system can analyze any matrix (solid, liquid or gas) without any pre-treatment or chemical additions in as few as 6 minutes in full compliance with EPA method 7473.
