Environmental Analysis UK Focus xv New Online Video for Interchangeable Mercury Analyser
A video demonstration illustrating the rapid conversion of the unique Hydra mercury analyser, from liquid samples to direct analysis of solid samples has been published by Quantitech, a leading supplier of environmental monitoring instrumentation.
The Hydra II and the Hydra C, from Teledyne Leeman Labs, are interchangeable and designed to suit all mercury analysis requirements. As a result, this allows for both Atomic Absorption and Atomic Fluorescence detection in liquid samples (Hydra II by Cold Vapour), and solids (Hydra C by Thermal Decomposition).
Uniquely the Hydra platform remains in place allowing the user to interchange sample introduction and/or the detector. This versatility reduces the need for two separate analysers; saving considerable costs in the process. The switch-over takes just a few minutes and can be viewed online at the Milton Keynes based company’s website by clicking on ‘Teledyne Leeman Atomic Absorbance Mercury Analyser’ on the Product List at

Dr Gareth Pearson, Quantitech’s Technical Sales Specialist, said: “The conversion process, as the video demonstrates, is extremely simple and very quick. The ability to undertake this conversion truly makes the Hydra range unlike any other mercury analyser in the world.”
Additionally, all of the Hydra mercury analysers are equipped with the same powerful yet easy to use Windows-based software, permitting custom report generation and data manipulation.

BOC are the first commercial gases company in the UK to be accredited by the United Kingdom Accreditation Service (UKAS) to ISO Guide 34: 2000 ‘General requirements for the competence of reference material producers’ as a Reference Material Producer. BOC have been accredited to ISO 17025 ‘General requirements for the competence of testing and calibration laboratories’ as a Calibration Laboratory (previously M10) since 1991 and has latterly provided an extensive range of accredited gas calibration mixtures to facilitate environmental measurements, analysis of natural gas and petrochemicals, evidential breath-analyser calibrations and exhaust emissions measurements. Accreditation as both a Reference Material Producer for gases and as a Calibration Laboratory ensures that a consistent and technically robust approach is taken to the production and certification of gas calibration mixtures including the comparability of measurements and certification data. All aspects of the process from contract review through preparation, analysis and certification are covered – this allows us to continue to provide our customers with a quality product meeting current and future needs!

New Wireless Environmental Monitoring Range Measures Building Performance and Meets EST Standards
Wireless telemetry specialist Radio-Tech (UK) has developed a new and innovative wireless environmental monitoring system that measures energy efficiency and building performance and is specifically designed to meet standards specified by the Energy Savings Trust* (EST). Radio-Tech’s products have already been selected as the primary data collection system for both the EST’s Solid Wall Insulation field trials and the Technology Strategy Board’s (TSB) ’Retrofit for the Future’ project.
Radio-Tech’s products measure building data through a range of wireless sensors positioned throughout a property. As the entire system is totally wireless it requires no field programming and can be installed with minimal disruption to occupants. Sensors monitor variables such as internal and external temperature and humidity, surface temperature, carbon dioxide levels, window and door openings, electricity, gas and water consumption. Through partnerships with industry-leading specialists, Radio-Tech can also offer heat flux, light and electrical power sensing equipment.
Sensors collect data from a range of
sources and, using 434 MHz RF, report this information back at 5 minute intervals to a single, central Wi5 Data Hub. The Wi5 Data Hub can be located anywhere in the property and with a memory of 2GB can manage data from hundreds of sensors. Once data has been received, the Wi5 transmits this information back to Radio- Tech or client hosted servers for analysis; this can be uploaded periodically or as often as every minute. Collecting such environ- mental data can provide valuable information about building construction and performance that can affect the future of low impact building development in the UK.
