DMA-80 Direct Mercury Analyzer

5-minute Direct Mercury Analyzer in solid, liquid and gas samples

Since its introduction in 1999, over 1000 units have been installed worldwide! 
The DMA-80 offers accuracy, precision, simplicity and speed!

NO SAMPLE PREPARATION
The DMA-80 enables the operator to do direct determination of total mercury without the need for acid digestion or other wet chemistry sample treatment prior the analysis; this means no hazardous chemicals to purchase, handle and dispose.

HIGH PRODUCTIVITY
Typical analysis time is 5 minutes. A dual-tray autosampler allows for unattended analysis of multiple samples.

EXTREMELY LOW DETECTION LIMIT
Milestone’s Tri-Cell DMA-80 combines an innovative mercury measuring system with a unique optical path spectrophotometer, achieving a detection limit of 0,0015 ng of mercury.

MATRIX-INDEPENDENT RESULTS
The DMA-80 is matrix-independent and can analyze solid aqueous and gas samples with equal efficiency. A single method can be used to process organic and inorganic samples.

EASE OF USE
All you need to do is weigh your sample, load it onto the built-in auto-sampler and press ‘start’. The DMA-80 is so simple to use that it can also be operated in the field, not only in the analytical laboratory. 

LOW RUNNING COST
The DMA-80 has been shown to save laboratories more than 70% in costs when compared to traditional mercury analysis techniques like CV-AAS. 

EASY MAINTENANCE
All the DMA-80’s components, such as the catalytic furnace, amalgamator and spectrophotometer, are easily accessible for routine maintenance and cleaning. 

LARGE INSTALLED BASE
With hundreds of DMA-80’s installed globally, Milestone is the acknowledged market leader in direct mercury analysis. Our extensive experience enables us to provide the highest level of applications and support.

US EPA AND ASTM METHODS ALREADY AVAILABLE
The DMA-80 is fully compliant with US EPA method 7473 (Mercury in solids and solutions by thermal decomposition, amalgamation, and atomic absorption spectrophotometry) and with ASTM method D-6722-01 (Standard test method for total mercury in coal and coal combustion residues by direct combustion analysis).
