Lumex Instruments invites you to visit their booth and participate in their live demo at Pittcon 2019 on March 19-21 in the Pennsylvania Convention Center.

At the Booth 1230 they will demonstrate the wide range of their instruments: mercury analyzer RA-915M with the pyrolizer Pyro-915+, capillary electrophoresis (CE) system Capel-205, atomic absorption (AA) spectrometer MGA-1000, PCR analyzer AriaDNA and fluorescence analyzer Fluorat-02. With their product line they manage to cover a diverse selection of methods and applications so you will find solutions to all your laboratory challenges.

Moreover, you will be able to take part in their live demonstration of applications developed by Lumex Instruments:

1. Determination of mercury in hair using mercury analyzer RA-915M with Pyro-915+. Wonder how much mercury you have been exposed to? They can answer just by testing your hair.
2. Determination of caffeine, ascorbic acid, and preservatives in beverages using capillary electrophoresis system Capel-205. Bring your own beverage to sample, like juice, wine, water or coffee to determine the mass concentration of caffeine, ascorbic acid, and its salts, and preservatives (benzoic acid, sorbic acid, and their salts) in beverages. All this will be done in one run. The analysis time is just 10 minutes.
3. Demonstration of a high-speed real-time microchip-based PCRanalysis. Drop by to check how 45 cycles can be completed in just 20 minutes.

They will analyze at least two sample during each demonstration.

Save the schedule to join them during the live demo at their booth 1230:

Mercury Analyzer RA-915M

Lumex

The mercury analyzer RA-915M is a unique all-purpose high sensitivity analytical instrument for measuring mercury, especially for the real time detection of mercury vapor in air, mercury detection in water, natural and stack gases, oil and condensate, solid and sediments, foodstuff and so on. RA-915M Mercury Analyzer is a portable multifunctional atomic absorption spectrometer with Zeeman background correction, which eliminates the effect of interfering impurities. It is the only high sensitivity and selectivity instrument that does not require gold amalgam pre-concentration and subsequent regeneration steps. This enables the user to conduct real time monitoring and detection of a mercury vapor. Being combined with an RP-92 Cold Vapor accessory for water and PYRO-915+ pyrolysis attachment for solid sample testing, the instrument is designed to determine mercury content in ambient air, water, soil, natural and stack gases, dental and medical testing and diagnostics, analysis of food and marine life, etc., the mercury detection limits being as low as 0.5 ng/m3 in air and 0.5 ng/l in water.
