The NEW Milestone DMA-1 evo Direct Mercury Analyser from Analytix overcomes common sampling and calibration problems. The calibration can last up to six months and is matrix independent. Samples require no sample preparation and are simply weighted into either quartz or metal sample boats that are automatically loaded into the instrument. Measurements take as little as six minutes and total mercury results are generated at the end of analysis.

Given the ease of use and cost effectiveness, the system is also ideal for use out in the field or off-shore on oil platforms. Systems can be calibrated in the lab/on-shore prior to shipment, also meaning that hazardous mercury does not need to be shipped with the system. Maintenance is simple, with support often performed remotely, ideal when up-time is crucial.
