Refurbished IonScience Mercury Vapor Indicator (MVI) Detector
Mercury Vapor Indicator for Continuous Detection
The MVI rapidly detects and continuously measures mercury vapor. Revolutionary dual-beam technology means the instrument does not saturate or require regeneration between readings, as do traditional gold film detection methods, ensuring instrument downtime is eliminated.
