Mercury Trace Analysis

Mercury (Hg) testing and detection for a wide array of samples with high sample throughput using Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS)

Mercury trace analysis demands a swift and accurate approach due to the wide variety and types of samples and industry expectations. Or experts use ICP-MS to detect mercury (Hg) at parts per million (ppm), parts per billion (ppb) and parts per trillion (ppt) detection levels, depending upon the sample and technique used.

Trace mercury analysis is available for a wide range of materials and samples such as raw material testing and screening, mercury trace analysis, quality control, troubleshooting and identification of unknowns, mercury species snalysis (Mercury Speciation), mercury level testing in seafoods and other foods, testing on blood plasma, tissue fluids, pharmaceutical intermediates, RoHS Testing

Our experts use state of the art ICP-MS fitted with a sample loop injection system that speeds up the sample to sample analysis time meaning a higher throughput of samples in the working day, and helps to limit the amount of sample solution entering the system reducing internal contamination risk.

Materials tested for trace mercury:

• Organic and Inorganic Samples
• Mercury Measurement in Crude Oil  
• Mercury Speciation Analysis of Refinery Products and Feedstocks 
• Mercury Analysis in Natural Gas
• Food and Seafood Products
• Polymers
• Gases
• Other materials, such as specialty chemicals, biocides, ink products
