Chief Spectroscopic Techniques Supported
- Atomic absorption spectroscopy
- Atomic fluorescence spectroscopy
Major Products/Services
- Model MA-3000 Mercury Analyzer: A direct mercury analyzer that allows for mercury analysis of just about any matrix without the need for sample preparation.
- Model RA-4300 Series Mercury Analyzers: Discrete-baseddesign to simplify mercury analysis by CVAAS for basic EPA methods and more.
- Model RA-4500 Mercury Analyzer: A unique analyzer that performs the typical EPA Method 245.1 analysis in a fully automatic sequence, including sample preparation.
- Model PE-1000 Mercury Analyzer: A specifically designed mercury analyzer for direct, automated analysis of mercury in liquid and gaseous hydrocarbons.
- Model EMP-2 Mercury Meter: A portable meter for mercury monitoring in ambient air and other gases (including LPG/LNG), as well as portable mercury analysis in waters and a portable CEM option.
- Model WA-5 A/F Mercury Analyzer: The company's latest creation includes the ability to measure low to trace levels of mercury in the atmosphere and other gases. The WA-5 comes in two versions (AA or AF) and a variety of options that include an air tube autosampler, direct LNG/LPG sampler, and more.

This column shows that a Raman plate reader paired with partial least squares regression can simultaneously quantify glucose, fructose, sucrose, and ethanol in yeast fermentation samples, using turbidity-matched calibration standards to correct for yeast-induced turbidity, and offers a rapid, label-free, high-throughput method for tracking sugar consumption and ethanol production in strain screening, media optimization, and process development.
This column, the second installment on highly substituted benzene rings, shows that tri- and tetra-substituted substitution patterns can be distinguished by whether the ring bending peak is present and by the position of the in-phase aryl C-H wagging peak, which shifts according to how many adjacent hydrogens the ring carries.
How do ions and water interact at the atomic level in nanochannels grafted with polymer brushes using all-atom molecular dynamics simulations? Siddhartha Das of the University of Maryland and his team are working on answering this question.
