MARS 6 Microwave Reaction System
MARS 6 Microwave Reaction System for sample prep brings a remarkable intelligence and ease of use to microwave sample preparation. The MARS 6 has an impressive list of features and capabilities, and was developed to make microwave sample preparation virtually effortless.
MERCURY IN GAS, LIQUIDS, PETROLEUM PRODUCTS
ACS Labs has also acquired a Milestone DMA80 Tri-Cell Direct Mercury analyzer. Milestone's DMA-80 Direct Mercury Analyzer is redefining mercury analysis. The DMA-80 requires no sample preparation and delivers results, comparable to those obtained on CVAA and ICP-MS, in as little as 5 minutes.
The DMA-80 system enables the operator to analyze for mercury in virtually any sample matrix - liquids, solids, and even gases - without the need for any sample preparation. An integrated, removable autosampler accommodates up to 40 samples for unattended operation. It's 21 CFR Part 11 compliant.
This DMA-80 allows ACS to run fuel gas mercury analysis using ASTM 6350 and ASTM D5954 which is listed in the Boiler MACT regulations.
