Tekran® Series 2600 Automated Sample Total Mercury Analysis System

The Tekran® Series 2600 system allows the analysis of ultra-trace levels of total mercury in laboratory prepared environmental samples (water, biota, soil, sediments, gas cartridges, effluents and more). It offers unparalleled sensitivity and flexibility for those who require truly sensitive total mercury analysis.

The Series 2600 is capable of providing a fully automated implementation of EPA Method 1631. This method is capable of measuring waters and digested solids with detection limits over 10X lower than required.

Key Features:

  • Capable of multiple method configurations:Dual stage gold preconcentration (EPA Method 1631)
  • Direct measurement without preconcentration (EPA Method 245.7)
  • Air sample analysis on gold traps (EPA Compendium Method IO-5)
  • Natural gas analysis on gold traps (ASTM D-6350, ISO 6978)
  • Comprehensive Tek-MDS-2 Software Package developed in-house and fully supported.

Tekran® Model 2700 Automated MethylMercury Analysis System

The Tekran® 2700 Methyl Mercury Auto-Analysis System gives analytical laboratories and researchers automated alternatives to time-consuming and complex manual EPA method 1630 techniques. The Model 2700 offers a fully integrated, compact unit based on atomic fluorescence detection and operated via reliable, intuitive software. The system is pre-programmed to run EPA Method 1630, However, the Model 2700 offers complete method customization including: 1) GC column temperature ramping, 2) Programmable analysis cycle settings, 3) High temperature purge cycles and 4) Choice of trap and GC column. The 2700 will also seamlessly interface with ICP-MS or other analytical instruments.

The Model 2700 enclosure is specially designed for easy access to all serviceable components (e.g. GC column, detector, Tenax/Carbo trap). The Model 2700 includes integrated trouble shooting features such as pre-programmed leak check event cycles and software-based step by step detector maintenance guides. The superior design and features make the Model 2700’s the analyzer of choice for your methyl mercury laboratory.

Key Features:

  • Sample analysis cycle < 7 minutes per sample
  • Highly sensitive, ultra-stable CVAFS Hg detector
  • MDL of 0.002 ng/L
  • Intuitive, reliable TekMDS 2.7 software (based on the 2600 Series)
  • IR trap heating and active cooling
  • Liquid detector shuts down system in case of sample foaming or malfunctionSmall footprint (51cm X 35cm X 52cm, L:W:H)
