Monomethylmercure Tekran 2700

Page author : Angélique Carrara.

The Tekran 2700 is part of the ’Mercury’ analytical park.
This park offers a wide range of analyses of the different phases of mercury (dissolved, solid and gaseous), both inorganic and organic. The park consists of 3 total dissolved mercury analysers, 2 total dissolved methylmercury analysers, 2 total solid mercury analysers and 3 gaseous mercury analysers. These tools allow the speciation of mercury at ultra-trace levels (< absolute g) and in various matrices.
The Tekran 2700 is an atomic fluorescence spectrophotometer and continuously measures methylmercury under inert gas flow.
