Reliable mercury analysis in environmental samples: tools, techniques, and best practices
Environmental laboratories face increasing pressure to process complex matrices for both inorganic and organic contaminants with higher efficiency, lower cost, and full regulatory compliance. This four-part webinar series provides a comprehensive overview of modern sample preparation solutions for heavy metals, mercury, and organic pollutants, including PFAS.
Through practical guidance and real-world examples, we will explore how advanced digestion, extraction, and direct analysis tools streamline workflows, minimize errors, and improve data quality. Participants will gain actionable strategies to enhance productivity and achieve more reliable environmental results across the entire sample-to-analysis journey.
Episode 3: Reliable mercury analysis in environmental samples: tools, techniques, and best practices
Mercury analysis remains one of the most challenging tasks for environmental laboratories due to its volatility, contamination risks, and the complexity of traditional wet-chemistry workflows. This webinar presents a streamlined and highly reliable approach using Milestone’s DMA-80 direct mercury analyzer. Attendees will learn how to eliminate digestion steps, reduce handling of reagents, and improve data quality across solid and liquid environmental matrices. Practical guidance will be provided on controlling blank levels, avoiding common pitfalls, and meeting regulatory requirements while reducing cost per sample and simplifying day-to-day operations.
