The DMA-80 mercury determination system analyzes any matrix (solid, liquid or gas) without any pre-treatment or chemical additions in as few as 6 minutes in full compliance with EPA method 7473. With thousands of units installed, Milestone defines the benchmark for direct mercury determination in a wide range of industries: environmental, food energy, cement, cosmetics, agriculture, mining and petrochemical.
Go direct for any sample
The DMA-80 evo has seamlessly integrated a wide range of applications and industries. It is used for mercury determination in environmental applications such as soil, wastewater, sediment and waste testing. It has also been adopted into the food industry, where methylmercury in fish products is the primary application.
Low running costs
with superior ROI
The DMA-80 evo is an easy-to-maintain system with a low running cost. Its advanced components are synonymous with reliability, ensuring the same quality every analysis. The DMA-80 evo runs perfectly with either compressed air or oxygen as a carrier, providing additional savings to your lab without compromising on performance.
Superior performance
even at the ppt level
The DMA-80 evo double beam dramatically increases the signal-to-noise ratio, which greatly improves the quantification limit, enabling accurate and precise mercury determination even at the ppt level. This increased signal stability improves the reproducibility and reliability of analysis even at low concentrations.
Long-lasting calibration
for all matrices
A single calibration, done using either liquid or solid reference materials, suits all types of samples, over a wide concentration range: from ppt to ppm, with concentrations ranging from ppm to ppt. The DMA-80 evo’s calibration provides long-term reliability thanks to the stability of the system and the long lifetime of the catalyst tube and gold amalgamator. These features allow you to eliminate the daily calibrations often required by conventional instrumentation.
Forget about memory effect
Milestone’s DMA-80 evo fully overcomes it with a revolutionary feature: the Autoblank. This, along with the other high performance components of the system, eliminates overestimation and ensures low blanks, thus enhancing user confidence in the data collected, while still ensuring high productivity.

Improved design from the inside out
The analysis process starts with weighing a sample into a boat and then running it through thermal decomposition under air or oxygen flow. All mercury and residual combustion products then flow into the catalyst section. Here, interferences are removed and the mercury species are reduced and trapped on a gold amalgamator with subsequent release into multiple measuring cells positioned along the spectrophotometer's optical path. The DMA-80 evo double beam dramatically reduces the signal-to-noise ratio, which greatly improves the quantification limit, enabling accurate and precise mercury determination even at the ppt level. This increased signal stability improves the reproducibility and reliability of analysis even at low concentrations.
