Accurate analysis of mercury in fish

A NEW application note demonstrating the capability to accurately detect trace levels of mercury in fish is now available from Thermo Scientific. The application note entitled 揂ccurate analysis of low levels of mercury in fish by hydride generation AA?is available to download free-of-charge via the literature library at www.thermo.com/ice. Mercury is a significant environmental toxin that is capable of entering the marine food chain. The consumption of contaminated fish is the main route of human exposure to mercury, which can prove fatal. The speed and efficiency of the VP100 allows the analysis of a sample approximately every 90 seconds, while the ease-of-use of the iCE 3000 Series AA allows further method optimization, providing full control over the analysis. In addition, this combination allows users to analyze mercury samples more easily and cost-effectively, compared with more complex and expensive techniques, such as HPLC-ICP-MS or GC-ICP-MS. The iCE 3000 Series range of AA spectrometers combine high-precision optics and state-of-the-art design to provide unrivalled analytical performance, while the VP100 offers fast, repeatable and robust analysis. The iCE 3000 Series AA operates on the intuitive Thermo Scientific iCE SOLAAR software platform. The SOLAAR software is easy-to-use and gives step-by-step instructions to allow quick set-up and easy optimization of the analyses. Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc.
