Analysis of Samples with High Mercury Content - A Smooth Transition from PPB to PPM
Very often, laboratory specialists who analyze mercury in solid samples (such as contaminated soil, sorbents and sorbent traps, waste water, etc.) have to address the problem of high variations of mercury content in the samples that are analyzed. It is not unusual to have to clean the mercury analyzer or manually readjust the instrument’s settings/parameters in order to be able to switch ...

Increase mercury vapor detection range by 10X
New vapor dilution module extends detection range of the Jerome J505 from nanograms to milligrams. How it works: The new 10:1 dilution module for the J505 reduces the concentration of mercury vapor in the sample stream by a factor of ten, allowing for a much higher detection limit. Rather than the standard upper detection limit of 500 μg/m3, the new J505 dilution module lets you detect ...

Some pollutants declining in Willamette and Columbia Rivers, testing confirms
The Willamette, a large river associated with 70 percent of the population of Oregon, is getting cleaner in regard to some persistent toxic pollutants that are a legacy of past management practices. A 257-mile portion of the Columbia River between Umatilla, Oregon, and Skamokawa, Washington, is also showing a similar trend. These findings are based on research by U.S. Geological Survey ...

Simple analysis of thiomersal using voltammetry or polarography
Thiomersal (also called thimerosal or merthiolate) is an organic molecule containing mercury, which has been widely used as preservative for vaccines and eye drops. To minimize the risk for consumers, authorities limit the mercury content. Voltammetry or polarography offers a simple and accurate determination of trace amounts of mercury without prior sample preparation. Thiomersal’s ...
