HG3000 Hydride System

The HG3000 Hydride generator forms part of a complete hydride system

which can be used in conjunction with SavantAA and XplorAA AAS for trace level analysis of the hydride forming elements (arsenic, selenium, antimony, bismuth, tellurium, tin, germanium and lead at parts per billion concentration level), and mercury by the cold vapour method.

The same system can be used to measure mercury at parts per billion concentration utilizing the cold vapour technique.

As the system is a continuous flow system, signals can be integrated, thus filtering noise and improving the detection limits when compared to hydride generation systems that produce transient signals. To achieve the same sensitivity with flow injection systems, much larger sample volumes are required, meaning longer set up and analysis times.

The continuous flow process also means faster analysis when following good analytical procedures and measuring more than one replicate. Typical sample throughput is 60 samples per hour, measuring three replicates on each sample. Other systems only allow 30 to 40 samples to be measured each hour when measuring three replicates on each sample. The HG3000 will increase the productivity of your laboratory.
