Intuitive operating software

MA-3 Solo runs on the Microsoft Windows operating system and provides a real-time graphical representation of the measurement status and continuous diagnostics. The software constantly monitors the critical parameters such as heater temperature, flow rates, valve, actuation, voltages & more. With constant monitoring, operation safety and troubleshooting are made easier and faster, minimizing downtime for users.

Advanced optics for superior sensitivity and stability

MA-3 Solo uses high-quality lamp source that gives steady emission at 253.7 nm. It does not compromise sensitivity and uses high-quality optical gratings to redirect the light source for superior sensitivity and stability.

Wide measurement range

MA-3 Solo comes with a wide measurement range of 0 to 10,000 ng with quick analysis times ranging from 5 to 12 minutes.

Lower operating cost

MA-3 Solo uses self-purified room air as the combustion and carrier gas, making it ideal for portable field operation or mobile laboratories.

How does it work?

Aqueous samples such as tap water, drinking water, lake water, and river water usually contain low mercury levels, which can be difficult to quantify by Direct Thermal Decomposition. The optional attachment – AQUA Kit is made available to enable MA-3 Solo to measure sub-ppb detection levels with a higher volume sample (typically 20 mL).

Applications

Tap Water | Drinking Water | Lake Water | River Water

Methods

ASTM D 3223-17  EN-12338  ISO 12846

  • The sample tube in the impinger set is filled with the desired aqueous sample. Reducing agent SnCl2 and H2SO4 are added into the sample tube to convert all Hg2+ into Hg0.

Sn2+ + Hg2+ → Hg0 + Sn4+

  • Hg0 is purged from the sample solution and is trapped onto a mercury collector tube, N65.
  • This mercury collector tube is placed directly in MA-3 Solo to be analyzed directly by thermal decomposition, where Hgis further purified with gold amalgam and desorbed to transfer into the CVAAS detector for measurement.
  • The detection limit is capable down to sub part-per-billion (ppb) levels.

All mercury collector tubes used for AQUA kit sampling can be reused after direct analysis in MA-3 Solo.

How does it work?

The Gas Analysis Kit allows direct analysis of mercury collector tube used for Total Gaseous Mercury (TGM) sampling.

Applications

Ambient air | LPG/LNG and other gaseous matrices
