Save Time. Go Direct for Mercury Analysis
The Milestone DMA-80 has been at the forefront of
direct total mercury analysis for almost two decades.
The challenges in mercury determination are well known to analysts who often face a number of issues connected with tedious sample preparation process or the mercury analysis steps causing memory effect even after long cleaning cycles performed using latest generation of ICP-MS or cold vapor systems.
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. With thousands of units installed, Milestone defines the benchmark for direct mercury determination a wide range of industries: environmental, food energy, cement, cosmetics, agriculture, mining and petrochemical.

Robust and reliable approach to mercury determination
in environmental and fish samples
Go direct for any sample
and every sample
The DMA-80 evo has seamlessly integrated a wide
range of applications and industries. It
is used for for mercury determination in
environmental applications such as soil,
wastewater, sediment and waste
testing. It has also been adopted into
the food industry, where fish testing
is the primary application.
Low running costs
with superior ROI
The DMA-80 evo is an
easy-to-maintain system with a low running cost. Its advanced components are synonymous
with reliability, ensuring the same quality over and over again. The DMA-80 evo runs perfectly with either compressed
air or oxygen as a carrier, providing additional savings to your lab without compromising on performance.
Superior Performance
even at the ppt level
The DMA-80 evo double beam dramatically
increases the signal-to-noise ratio, which greatly improves the quantification limit, enabling accurate and precise mercury determination even at the ppt level. This increased signal stability improves the reproducibility and reliability of analysis even at low concentrations.
Long-lasting calibration
for all matrices
A single calibration, done using either liquid or solid references materials, suits all wide variety of samples, over a
wide concentration range: from ppt to ppm, with concentrations ranging from ppm to ppt. The DMA-80 evo’s
calibration provides long-term reliability thanks to the stability of the system and the long lifetime of the
catalyst tube and gold amalgamator.
These features allow you to eliminate the
daily calibrations often required by conventional instrumentation.

| NIST 1568a Rice Flour | 5.8 ± 0.5 | 5.9 ± 0.2 |
| BCR-150 Skim Milk Powder | 7.7 - 11.1 | 9.2 ± 0.2 |
| NIST 1630a Coal | 93.8 ± 3.7 | 93.4 ± 2.4 |
| NIST 1633b Fly Ash | 141 ± 19 | 149 ± 2 |
| BCR-61 Acquatic Plant | 210 ± 250 | 221 ± 3 |

| BCR-422 Cod Muscle | 543 - 575 | 558 ± 8 |
Forget about memory effect
Milestone’s DMA-80 evo fully overcomes it with a
revolultionary feature: the Autoblank. This, along with the
other high performance components of the system, eliminates
overestimation and ensures low blanks, thus enhancing user
confidence in the data collected, while still ensuring high
productivity.

1. Seabass
Direct Hg analysis
in a seabass sample -
2. Auto-Blank
As the Hg concentration is above the setted value in the Autoblank, the system automatically starts a blank cycle. -
3. Lobster Hepatopancreas (TORT-3)
Thanks to the Autoblank feature the next sample is analised with great precision and accuracy, avoiding overestimation.

Improved design from the inside out
The analysis process starts with weighing sample into a boat and then running it through thermal decomposition under air or oxygen flow. All mercury and residual combustion products then flow into the catalyst section. Here, interferences are removed and the mercury species are reduced and trapped on a gold amalgamator with subsequent release into multiple measuring cells positioned along the spectrophotometer's optical path. The DMA-80 evo double beam dramatically reduces the signal-to-noise ratio, which greatly improves the quantification limit, enabling accurate and precise mercury determination even at the ppt level. This increased signal stability improves the reproducibility and reliability of analysis even at low concentrations.
