Avoid problems related to mercury contamination!
The Mercury Tracker-3000 XS is a lightweight, compact and rugged instrument with built-in GPS for measuring the mercury concentration in air. Applications include:
- Safety at work
- Exhaust gas survey
- Environmental monitoring
- Mercury spills screening
- Hazardous waste inspection
- Investigation of contaminated sites
- Investigation of mercury contamination in air
- Measurement of mercury in scientific research

The mercury concentration is measured in an optical cell entirely made of a high purity grade fused silica. A maintenance-free membrane pump continuously feeds the sample gas into the measuring cell where the attenuation of a UV beam is measured. Analytical wavelength used is 253.7 nm.
This measuring method is called “Cold Vapor Atomic Absorption Spectrometry” (CVAAS) , which is extremely sensitive for mercury determination and is widely used for many years.
Easy to operate
The Mercury Tracker-3000 XS is controlled by menu-guided inputs on a waterproof membrane keypad and a 5.7″ TFT graphic display with LED backlight. After switch-on the light source is stabilized (approx. 1 – 5 minutes) and the baseline is automatically adjusted by the auto zero function. Measurement starts automatically, continuously indicating the mercury concentration of the air as a numerical value and a graphic bar.
In case of a malfunction the operator of the Mercury Tracker-3000 XS is warned via messages on the display.
