Mercury from natural and anthropogenic sources such as soil, rocks, and coal fired plants ultimately gets washed into the water bodies around us and enters our food chain. Over time, inorganic mercury consumed by fish and marine animals gets converted to organic methyl mercury, which is extremely toxic. Methyl mercury poses a significant health risk, making mercury analysis of fish tissue a primary focal point of both private and public institutions.
In this webinar, we'll explore how direct mercury analysis addresses the challenges posed with conventional mercury techniques such as ICP-MS and CVAA, when analyzing mercury in fish and biological tissue.
Join us to learn how the Milestone DMA-80 has set the standard for direct mercury analysis for the past 15 years. We’ll explore:
• |
The impacts of mercury in the environment and growing concerns as it relates to fish and other aquatic life |
• |
Precise and rapid determination of total mercury in fish and marine animals |
• |
A look at the flexibility of an extremely wide dynamic detection range to analyze different fish and marine organisms with varying mercury levels |
• |
Data Review: fish, seafood and other biological samples. |
• |
Tips and Techniques for running fish samples on a direct mercury analyzer |
• |
Live Q & A |
