Description
MC3000
Measure mercury at less than 10 ppt with the MC3000 Mercury Concentrator.
Regulations for mercury analysis are pushing the required detection limits continually lower, so that they are well below the level achievable using the standard cold vapour technique. The MC3000 mercury concentrator accessory for the HG3000 addresses this problem. By concentrating the mercury vapour on a gold foil, then heating by a patented Radio Frequency, detection limits of five parts per trillion can be readily achieved. The very quick and centralised heating results in the unsurpassed sensitivity and reproducibility. The MC3000 accessory is fully controlled by the SavantAA software and the analysis can be carried out unattended when used in conjunction with the SDS3000 auto sampler.
EHG3000
Improve hydride results with the EHG3000 Electrically Heated Hydride Cell. The EHG3000 is used to electrically heat the quartz cell used in hydride generation analysis, as an alternative to flame-heating of the cell. The advantages of using an electrically heated cell include: more accurate temperature control, more stable temperatures, less noise as the flame is not present, and improved detection limits for most elements.
As the EHG3000 does not require a flame, hydride analyses can be carried out unattended or even overnight, saving the laboratory time and money.
In addition, the EHG3000 can be used for warming the cell for cold vapour mercury analysis, eliminating any condensation in the quartz tube.
The electrical heating blanket can also be used with SavantAA No Flame, which does not have a gasbox, enhancing its analytical capability.
Atom Trap
Enhance sensitivity for certain elements using the GBC Atom Trap. The Atom Trap is a flame-heated quartz cell which is placed in the optical path. It enhances sensitivity by providing a longer residence time for the analyte in the excitation zone.
