Industry news

Teledyne Leeman Labs introduces their new line of Mercury Analyzers. This offering combines Teledyne Leeman Lab’s well known Hydra II Mercury Analyzers with the QuickTrace® Mercury Analyzers previously produced by Teledyne CETAC Technologies. The two product groups will be unified into one comprehensive mercury product line under the Teledyne Leeman Lab’s brand.

“This product line merger was a natural fit,” said Jeff Forsberg, Mercury Product Line Manager for Teledyne Leeman Labs. “Both companies are known for producing high-quality Mercury instruments with over 44 years combined experience. Our knowledge, enthusiasm, scientific curiosity and technological innovation enable us to provide customers with the quality and reliability that our instruments are known for.” QuickTrace® customers will benefit from Teledyne Leeman Lab’s superior on-site and depot repair service and support. Teledyne Leeman Labs has sales and service subsidiaries around the world to provide customers an experienced team that speaks their language.

The new consolidated product line will consist of the QuickTrace® M-8000 Cold Vapor Atomic Fluorescence (CVAF) system, the Hydra II Cold Vapor Atomic Absorption (CVAA) and the QuickTrace® M-7600 CVAA, all for liquid samples. The Hydra II C which is the ideal analyzer for solid to semisolid samples without pretreatment, will remain in the portfolio as the industry standard.

Atomic Absorption / Emission SpectroscopyAtomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS) and atomic emission spectroscopy (AES) — also called optical emission spectroscopy (OES) — are used to detect the elemental constituents in samples. Both techniques involve the atomization of a sample. Atomic absorption spectrometers may use a flame or furnace to create an atomic vapor of the sample before irradiation with spectral light. Optical emission spectrometers may use a flame, inductively coupled plasma (ICP), microwave plasma (MP) or spark arcs to atomize and excite the sample. At higher excitation energies, electrons can be emitted instead of photons, which can be useful for samples that can’t be atomized and for surface analysis. Explore electron spectroscopy equipment such as Auger spectrometers and photoelectron spectrometers for surface elemental analysis of samples.

Such processes use instruments for assays like cell based assays and ELISA, for sample preparation like shakers, centrifuges and incubators, and for analysis such as sequencing and western blot analyzers. Useful features of robotic instruments include speed, reproducibility, barcode readers, software and automation.
