The AULA is designed for automatic determination of mercury concentrations in aqueous samples and digested solid samples. Typical samples for the AULA-ASD are:

·        water, surface and ground water

·         process water (for example brine solutions in chlorine-alkali-electrolysis plants)

·         industrial effluents (chemical industry, incinerators, power-plants)

·         caustic solutions and acids (NaOH, KOH, H₂SO₄)

·         biological samples like plants, urine, saliva, blood

·         food

·         geological samples (minerals, ores, soil, sediments)

·         refuse (construction rubble, broken glass, wood, sludge, ...)

·         flue gas analysis (for example according to VDI 3868-2 VE)

·        petrochemical samples
