RA-915 Lab

DIRECT THERMAL DECOMPOSITION LABORATORY MERCURY ANALYZER RA-915 LAB WITH ZEEMAN BACKGROUND CORRECTION

• RA-915 Lab is the new direct fully automated laboratory mercury analyzer with 45 position autosampler. It provides accurate, reliable and cost-effective measurements in the broadest range of applications areas. The instrument analyzes solid, semisolid, and liquid samples with no pretreatment, reagents and almost no wastes. RA-915 Lab can be supplied without autosampler.

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION

• Atomic absorption spectrometry at 254 nm with Zeeman correction for background absorption makes interference-free measurements easy and quick and provides the most selective and sensitive analysis.

FEATURES AND BENEFITS

• Direct analysis of solid, semisolid and liquid samples, any kind of sorbent traps
• Unique analytical range extended up to 2 000 000 ppb
• No sample pretreatment, no reagents, almost no wastes
• No compressed gases (oxygen or argon), no pre-concentration on gold traps
• Powerful and user-friendly RAPID software with flexible operation modes
• No memory effect: a sample with low mercury concentration can be analyzed right after one having high mercury content
• PC controlled programmable furnace temperature: optimal decomposition mode for any kind of samples
