Light-915 Mercury Analyzer

Light-915 Mercury Analyzer is a compact instrument designed to address the problems of mercury pollution in a workplace environment and sanitary control. As with all the other Lumex mercury analyzers, the principle of measurement of Light-915 is based on atomic absorption spectrometry with Zeeman background correction, which eliminates the effect of interfering impurities. It is the only instrument with high sensitivity and selectivity that enables direct real-time measurements (with response time 1 second). Built-in performance verification test cell and automatic zero check procedure makes operation of Light-915 really simple. The instrument is compact, weighs just 3,3 kg, and provides full capabilities for field monitoring, i.e. 12 h battery operation, telescopic probe, datalogger, bluetooth interface for remote control and data transfer.
