The QuickTrace® M-7600 Cold Vapor Atomic Absorption (CVAA) Mercury Analyzer easily achieves the ultra-trace mercury detection limit of <0.5 ng/L demanded by customers employing performance based EPA method 245.7. The QuickTrace® M-7600 is ideal for ultra-trace to sub-mg/L mercury quantitation. The M-7600 is designed for routine and research use in a variety of settings, including environmental laboratories, industry, and research institutes, for virtually any aqueous acidified sample.
QuickTrace® M-7600 CVAA Mercury Analyzer
The QuickTrace® M-7600 Cold Vapor Atomic Absorption (CVAA) mercury analyzer combines the proven technologies from its predecessors along with TCP/IP communication. TCP/IP technology guarantees that data collection performance will be a stable format for years to come. An Ethernet adapter is included for dedicated control. To simplify the installation we pre-configure the TCP/IP communications per your laboratories preferences.
The QuickTrace® M-7600 is used to analyze samples that include water and waste-water, soil and sediment, and biological tissues and fluids. The QuickTrace® M-7600 is ideal for ultra-trace to sub-mg/L mercury quantitation. The QuickTrace® M-7600 is designed for routine and research use in a variety of settings, including environmental laboratories, industry, and research institutes, for virtually any aqueous acidified sample.
The QuickTrace® M-7600 mercury analyzer is also versatile enough to analyze samples > 500 μg/L without dilution. The QuickTrace M-7600 is capable of switching between low mg/L and ng/L analysis without hardware or tubing configuration changes. Using the proven and reliable CVAA technique combined with multi-tasking Windows-based software package, the QuickTrace® M-7600 is the most stable and sensitive mercury absorbance analyzer available today. For ultra-trace analysis we recommend our autosampler enclosure (ENC-500) to protect the samples from determinate errors such as dust particles. The ENC-500 will also protect your investment from the harsh acid gases normally present in and around digested acidified samples.
Performance
Excellent short and long term stability are found in our QuickTrace® M-7600 CVAA analyzer. Less than 0.3 ng/L instrument detection limits are typical for this analyzer while utilizing less than 4 minutes of sample time and less than 25 mL of sample.
- Ultra-trace detection limits (< 0.5 ng/L IDL)
- Linearity greater than 4 orders of magnitude
- Dynamic range < 0.5 ng/L to > 500 μg/L
- Without employing our smart rinse technology the system is ready to accurately measure a sample within four minutes following the ingestion of a 1 mg/L sample
- Short term precision (%RSD @ 95% Confidence) < 1.2% @ 20 ng/L, n=5
- Short term precision (%RSD @ 95% Confidence) < 6.0% @ 5 ng/L, n=5
