Product Overview
HM-CGSQ is a benchtop cold vapor atomic absorption mercury analyzer for liquid and gaseous samples. Mercury vapor is carried into an absorption cell and quantified from its absorption of 253.7 nm ultraviolet light against a calibration curve. The measurement mode is selected according to the laboratory sample and preparation workflow.
For liquid measurement, samples are appropriately digested and mercury is chemically reduced to elemental vapor before transport into the absorption cell.
For gas measurement, a gold-film trap collects mercury as an amalgam. Thermal desorption at 800 °C releases mercury vapor into the absorption cell.
Key Features
- Android 10 operating system with a 7-inch color touchscreen.
- Automatic zeroing, one-key measurement, live curves and instrument status prompts.
- Shielded low-pressure mercury lamp optical system and a corrosion-resistant enclosed gas path with drying.
- 30-minute warm-up and an integrated thermal printer for measurement reports.
- Wi-Fi software updates, wireless data upload and client-side data management.
- Selectable liquid and gas modes in one instrument.
- Gold-film trap capacity greater than 1000 ng of mercury.
Applications
- Total mercury determination in prepared water samples and digests from food, soil, sediment, minerals and industrial materials.
- Gaseous mercury analysis for ambient air, workplace air, industrial emissions and atmospheric mercury research.

Operation and Support
Complete warm-up and calibration before measurement. Prepare liquid samples using the appropriate digestion and reduction procedure. The liquid measurement time runs from addition of the reducing agent to the displayed result. Collect mercury on the gold-film trap, then insert it into the thermal-desorption port for measurement. Review the live curve and result, then save or print the report.
