Mercury from natural and anthropogenic sources such as soil, rocks and coal fired plants ultimately gets washed into the water bodies around us. As mercury from the water bodies gets absorbed by the fish, animal and other biological tissues through ecological processes, it eventually enters into the food chain. While inorganic mercury is not proven to have adverse effects on general health, overtime, it gets converted to methyl mercury which is extremely toxic making mercury analysis in fish, animal and biological tissues a very important research area today.
Conventionally, laboratories have been using cold vapor methods for mercury analysis. These methods, although tried and tested, are challenging in many respects, primarily due to the fact that the users are required to digest samples prior to analysis. The need for digestion of such a diverse range of sample matrices, elevates the price and complexity of the overall analysis by adding reagent costs, labor hours, analytical equipment maintenance and disposal costs.
In this webinar, we will explore how direct mercury analysis performed with Milestone DMA-80 can help labs overcome these challenges. Join us to watch this presentation with Jason Gerbino, our applications chemist and Maggie Castellini from University of Alaska at Fairbanks.
