The system uses Thermal Decomposition and Atomic Absorption which offers the following advantages:  

• No Sample Preparation.
• Applicable for Solids and Liquids Analysis.
• Many Sample Matrices Processed Identically.
• Results in 5 mins.
• Modular design for ease of maintenance, transport and upgradeability.
•  Large capacity autosampler included for high sample throughput during unattended operation .
•  Automatic sample weight entry, with optional on-line balance.
•  No Corrosive Chemicals Used.
•  No Hazardous Waste Produced.
• Thermal Decomposition Process 

The Hydra C employs the thermal decomposition process described in U.S. EPA Method 7473. This process heats the sample to release its mercury, capturing the mercury vapour as it evolves on a gold trap. Subsequent heating of the trap releases the mercury for measurement by atomic absorption. 
This technique permits the use of a single calibration for a wide range of matrices such as fish, coal, soil, water, and biological fluids. 
With the Hydra C, samples are deposited in native form directly into the instrument without any chemical pre-treatment required.
