Making Mercury Analysis More Sustainable: make your greener path

28 May, 2025

Sustainability is no longer optional—it’s a responsibility.

When it comes to heavy metals analysis, adopting green chemistry principles can be challenging. Traditional methods often rely on concentrated acids and complex sample preparation, making sustainability difficult to achieve.

But mercury analysis is an exception. It offers a unique opportunity to adopt a greener, more sustainable approach without compromising performance.

Thanks to thermal decomposition mercury analysis with the Milestone DMA-80 evo direct mercury analyser, you can reduce your environmental impact by offering no sample preparation, minimal reagent usage and virtually no waste, all while delivering high accuracy. This direct approach to mercury analysis without sample preparation is not only efficient but also fully compliant with EPA Method 7473 and ASTM D6722.
