Cold Vapor Atomic Fluorescence (CVAF) Mercury Analyzer

The Teledyne QuickTrace® M-8000 Cold Vapor Atomic Fluorescence (CVAF) mercury analyzer is ideal for ultra-trace to sub-mg/L mercury quantitation.
Due to the high sensitivity of the M-8000, it easily achieves the ultra-trace detection limit of <0.05 ng/L total mercury that is demanded by customers following EPA method 1631.
The QuickTrace® M-8000 is also versatile enough to analyze samples >400 µg/L without dilution in a research or industrial setting.
 ​The QuickTrace® M-8000 mercury analyzer supports three software selected modes of operation (without hardware or tubing configuration changes) to quickly match your analytical requirements. When a method is selected in the software, the instrument switches between ultra-trace analysis and low mg/L analysis, saving method configuration time and eliminating costly mistakes. ​​​Modes include:

  1. Cold Vapor Atomic Fluorescence Spectroscopy (CVAFS)
  2. Cold Vapor Atomic Fluorescence Spectroscopy Single Gold Trap Amalgamation (CVAFS-SGTA)
  3. Cold Vapor Atomic Fluorescence Spectroscopy Double Gold Trap Amalgamation (CVAFS-DGTA).

Features ​​​​​:

  • ​​Non-foaming Gas Liquid Separator (GLS) with overflow prevention system
  • Automatic end of run and inactivity standby routines ≤ 0.05 ng/L instrument detection limits
  • Advanced contamination control, over range and smart rinse features
  • Intuitive gas controls eliminating air infusion into the system during sample probe movements during mode 2 and 3 analysis EPA 1631 and EPA 245.7 compliant (gold amalgamation modes)
