| HydraIIC is a direct combustion mercury analyzer that is available with cold vapor atomic absorption (CVAA). HydraIIC works by thermally decomposing the sample to release mercury vapor instead of the chemical reduction step used in most liquid based analyzers. Solid and liquid samples in all kinds of matrices can be loaded onto HydraIIC’s autosampler and analyzed without acid digestion prior to analysis. The chemical decomposition process does not require the conversion of mercury to mercuric ions so lengthy sample pretreatments are unnecessary. Because chemical reduction is not used, there is no need for reagents such as strong acids, oxidizers and reductants. There is also no hazardous waste to be disposed of at the end of analysis. As a result, the HydraIIC reduces both analysis time and cost.
The HydraIIC employs the advanced, time-tested optical designs of our earlier continuous flow analyzers coupled with gold amalgamation purge and trap pre-concentration to achieve high sensitivity and low noise.
