Mercury Selective Electrode

Technology Benefits

Very selective for mercury, nearly eliminating errors in measurements. The sensor is field portable and suitable for automated long-term deployment. Detects mercury in remote settings quickly without sending physical samples back to the lab.

Detailed Technology Description

This sensor, developed at Boise State University, addresses the challenges of mercury detection in fluid samples and overcomes the deficiencies in currently available methods. This method is a rapid response, real time, field applicable sensor, capable of detecting and reporting of mercury concentrations at the sub-ppm level. This sensor yields results comparable to laboratory-based instruments.
