Lumex Instruments’ RA-915 Lab with optional 45 position autosampler performs direct analysis by AAS with Zeeman correction, without time consuming digestion and pre-concentration.
Analysis of a sample usually takes 1-3 minutes, making RA-915 Lab one of the fastest and cost-effective direct mercury analyzer on the market. In addition, the instrument does not require any reagents, compressed argon or oxygen, which keeps analysis costs to a minimum.
The scope of applications includes analysis of any environmental samples (water, soils, bottom sediments, biota); fuels (crude oil, naphtha and condensate, coal); food products (fish, crops, etc.); human tissues; wastes, plastics, sorbents, and many more. So, one analyzer can meet the requirements of virtually all applications for mercury analysis.
The closed-loop system automatically chooses the optimal rate of atomization depending on mercury and non-selective absorbance in the analytical cell. Moreover, because there are no memory effects, it is possible to correctly analyze a sample with low mercury concentration immediately after a sample with high mercury content.
