What is Mercury Speciation Analysis?Mercury speciation is an analytical testing process that separates and measures the different forms (species) of mercury that are present in a test sample.
In a single test, Quicksilver Scientific speciation analysis measures the biologically available forms of mercury (methylmercury and inorganic mercury). This is why Quicksilver speciation is superior to conventional total mercury analysis. Rather than simply delivering an undifferentiated lump sum total, Quicksilver speciation of mercury provides useful data on the ratio of methylmercury to inorganic mercury.
In addition to this, the patented Quicksilver mercury measurement process can be expanded to include rare forms of this toxic element (ethylmercury and propylmercury).
