NIC MA-3000 Mercury Analyzer
Product Description
The NIC MA-3000 is a high-performance, fully automated direct mercury analyzer that uses thermal decomposition (direct combustion) technology to achieve the lowest detection limits for a commercial instrument of its kind. It is designed for high-throughput laboratories requiring uncompromising sensitivity and reliability across a vast range of sample matrices.
Key features and capabilities include:
-
Ultimate Sensitivity & Wide Dynamic Range: Features an ultra-low detection limit of <0.001 ng (<1 pg) and a wide dynamic range up to 70,000 ng, capable of handling everything from ultra-trace to high-concentration samples seamlessly.
-
Patented Dual-Cell Tri-Beam Optics: The patented optical system (JP 5596995) ensures seamless low-to-high measurement without range switching or cross-range interference, providing unmatched versatility and accuracy.
-
Fully Automated Operation: Equipped with a high-capacity 100-position autosampler, the system automates the entire process from sample introduction to analysis, significantly improving lab productivity.
-
No Sample Pre-Treatment: The direct thermal decomposition method eliminates the need for complex acid digestion, enabling easy, accurate, and environmentally friendly analysis (no acidic waste) of solids, liquids, and viscous samples.
-
Compliant & Versatile: Complies with key methods like USEPA 7473 and ASTM D7623 and is suitable for a vast array of applications including environmental, food, biological, and petroleum samples (e.g., coal, crude oil, tuna, blood).
-
Expandable Platform: The system's functionality can be expanded with optional attachments for reduction vaporization and gas tube desorption analysis, making it a versatile central hub for multiple mercury analysis techniques.
