QS President publishes biota method in ES&T

Quicksilver Scientific’s method for determining mercury species in biota has been accepted for publication in the leading environmental science journal.
Based on QS’s superior patented technology, the new biota method can provide researchers with highly accurate methylmercury and inorganic mercury data. This same method was utilized by Dr. Dan Cristol (College of William and Mary) […]

Quicksilver technology contributes to Science-published study

To solve the mystery of why songbirds in the Shenandoah watershed have high blood mercury levels, researcher Dan Cristol (College of William and Mary) sought out Quicksilver Scientific to provide the analysis of one of the songbirds’ primary food sources–spiders.
Quicksilver Scientific’s unique mercury speciation analysis utilized one test to determine the distribution of inorganic mercury […]

Mercury Speciation: MeHg + Hg(II) = HgT

Choosing mercury speciation analysis means you will gain direct measurements of biologically available mercury without foregoing information on total mercury.

Interlab comparisons of biological samples have shown that Quicksilver’s mercury speciation analysis actually provides total mercury data as well as direct measurements of methylmercury and inroganic mercury. As the graph shows, the sum of the two […]
