MTI's PDV 5000, a field portable instrument, is a self-contained anodic stripping analyzer. Anodic Stripping Voltammetry (ASV) works by electroplating metals in solution onto an electrode. This concentrates the metal. The metals on the electrode are then sequentially stripped off, which generates a current that can be measured. The current (milliamps) is proportional to the amount of metal being stripped off. The potential (voltage in millivolts) at which the metal is stripped off is characteristic for each metal. This means the metal can be identified as well as quantified. The PDV 5000's reporting limits during this verification test was < 20 :g/wipe.
