Objective of Mercury Analysis --- Ultra-Dynamic Extended-Range Detector with Uncompromised-Precision

Ease, Fast and Precise!

The unique Dual-Cell Tri-Beam Detector achieves a seamless low to high concentration precise measurement range without cross-range interference
seen in other competitive systems. Extended range of up to 25,000ng (or up to 1000ppm) measurement allows coverage of more types of
applications and sample matrices, offering unmatched versatility.
