1. General Description
1.1 Applications
The UT-3000 is dedicated for automatic measurement of mercury concentrations in air and other
gaseous samples.
• The mercury Ultratracer provides a compact and reliable tool for automatic measuring of
Total Gaseous Mercury (TGM) in air at ultratrace levels. Utilising the high performance
GoldTrap amalgamation module and the optimised state-of-the-art Atomic Absorption
detector detection limits at sub-ng/m³ levels are achieved.
• The instrument operates automatically, all functions are controlled by an embedded
microprocessor. Once the analysis has been started, measurements are performed
automatically and data are collected by the built-in data logger. The capacity of the data
logger is up to 100 days.
• The UT-3000 is used in following applications:
• Air quality studies
• Monitoring of indoor air pollution
• Environmental pollution source tracking
• plume profiling
• Studies of mercury dispersion in the atmosphere
• Studies of interaction between atmosphere and surfaces
• Pollution prevention
• Natural gas and derivatives (observe special hazardous zone requirements)
• Hydrogen and other gases (observe special hazardous zone requirements)
• Soil and ground degassing studies
