Mercury Analysis in Fish: Advanced Analytical Methods for Food Safety in the Food & Beverage Industry
Food safety is a critical priority in the Food & Beverage industry, ensuring that products remain safe and compliant from production to consumption. One of the most significant risks comes from trace metal contamination , particularly mercury, arsenic, selenium, and antimony, which are commonly introduced through dietary exposure. Among these, mercury contamination in fish and…
Read MoreHow Millennium Merlin Using AFS Enables Selenium Speciation for Superior Product Quality
In today’s food, nutraceutical, and supplement industries, selenium analysis goes beyond measuring total selenium concentration. Different selenium species provide different nutritional values, bioavailability, and safety profiles, making selenium speciation increasingly important for quality-focused manufacturers. Using advanced Atomic Fluorescence Spectrometry (AFS) technology, the Millennium Merlin system enables laboratories to separate and identify different selenium species with…
Read MoreSeawater Analysis | AFS Analysers
For many laboratories, Seawater analysis for mercury and hydride-forming elements presents significant analytical challenges due to ultra-trace concentration levels and high total dissolved solids (TDS). Achieving accurate and reliable results requires highly sensitive and selective techniques such as Atomic Fluorescence Spectrometry (AFS). Determination of trace elements in seawater is particularly demanding due to several factors:…

Read MoreDETERMINATION OF MERCURY (Hg), ARSENIC (As), SELENIUM (Se), ANTIMONY (Sb) AND BISMUTH IN CLINICAL SAMPLES USING ATOMIC FLUORESCENCE SPECTROMETRY
The determination of toxic metals Hg, As and Sb in biological samples of humans is an important clinical screening procedure. Exposure of these metals from the diet, local surroundings and industrial & occupational processes can lead to serious and significant health issues.
Analyzing the total concentration of these elements is important but, by no means, the whole story.
USING ATOMIC FLUORESCENCE SPECTROMETRY FOR THE DETERMINATION OF MERCURY (Hg), ARSENIC (As), SELENIUM (Se), ANTIMONY (Sb) IN ENVIRONMENTAL SAMPLES
Soils are the major sink of these metal contaminants, while in aquatic systems, sediments are the major recipients for these pollutants. With the addition of analyte separation capabilities (which is becoming more routine) allowing for speciation studies, PSA offers powerful analytical tools to help contract laboratories, research teams and regulators alike with these determinations.
