Description

Handheld mercury vapor monitor capable of providing real-time measurements with data logging capabilities. Can be battery operated and is ideal for applications such as: monitoring of exposure to individuals in the workplace, monitoring and control of mercury in industrial settings, personal exposure monitoring for studies of health effects of air pollutants, and long-term monitoring at remote locations where power is highly limited.

  • 0-2,000 μg/m3 Hg with a precision of 0.1 μg/m3
  • Built-in GPS to provide location data along with mercury measurements
  • Smallest atomic absorption spectroscopy-based mercury monitor available on the market
  • Miniaturized UV-based mercury monitor
  • Handheld, battery operable, and weighing less than a pound
  • Built-in GPS so that mercury measurements may be logged continuously along with geographic location
  • Built-in data logging capabilities
  • Mercury vapor measured by absorption at 254 nanometers, using the same principles as our ozone monitors
  • U-shaped 15-centimeter path length, enabling sensitive measurements of mercury in ambient air

FEATURES

  • Handheld monitor for absorption-based measurements of mercury vapor is the smallest available on the market today
  • Measurement principle:  UV absorption at 254 nanometers
  • Measurement frequency of once every 2 seconds
  • Averaging times of 10 s, 1 min, 5 min, and 1 hour
  • Onboard GPS for location information
  • Built-in datalogger
  • Lithium-ion battery (5-8 hrs of operation)
  • DewLine for elimination of any water vapor interference, a unique feature of 2B Tech instruments
