AZI Jerome J405 Mercury Vapour Analyser
AMETEK Brookfield Gold Film Sensor Technology for Accurate, Low-Level Mercury Detection in Ambient Air
ABLE Instruments are AMETEK Brookfield’s Exclusive Partner in the UK and Ireland for the Jerome J405 Mercury Vapour Analyser. The Jerome J405 is a portable, easy-to-use mercury vapour analyser that delivers ultra-low-level detection with unmatched precision and reliability. Utilising industry-proven gold film sensor technology, it can detect mercury vapour concentrations as low as 0.5 µg/m³ with a resolution of 0.01 µg/m³, exceeding the standards set by the EPA and ATSDR for both industrial and residential remediation. This advanced detection capability makes it an ideal solution for a wide range of users, including environmental agencies, industrial hygienists, miners, and first response teams. The gold film sensor, validated in both lab and field environments for over 35 years, ensures consistent and repeatable results, reinforcing the J405’s reputation for accuracy and dependability.
Designed for real-world conditions, the J405 is housed in a lightweight yet durable metal casing that is both ergonomic and rugged. Its 24-hour battery life and field-rechargeable sensor feature enable extended testing in remote or emergency environments. The device also includes a survey mode that continuously samples air, making it easier to pinpoint sources of contamination and take corrective action quickly. When equipped with the optional data logging feature, the J405 can store up to 20,000 samples, complete with date, time, and location data across 80 different sites. This makes it a powerful tool for tracking and documenting environmental conditions over time.
Features:
- Ultra-Low Detection Limit: Detects mercury vapour concentrations as low as 0.5 µg/m³
- High-Resolution Measurements: Precision of 0.01 µg/m³ for detailed monitoring
- Wide Measurement Range: From 0.5 µg/m³ to 3000 µg/m³, covering ambient to high-concentration environments

Applications: The Jerome J405 Mercury Vapour Analyser is designed for a broad range of environmental, industrial, and regulatory monitoring applications. It is widely used for ambient air analysis in both urban and industrial settings, and is trusted by emergency response teams for HAZMAT spill detection and cleanup operations. In industrial hygiene and worker safety programs, it supports the ongoing protection of personnel exposed to mercury in manufacturing or processing environments.
The J405 is an essential tool in regulatory compliance, helping facilities meet air quality and workplace exposure standards. It plays a critical role in gold mining operations, where mercury is used or released, and supports mercury exclusion testing for cleanroom environments. The analyser is also used in the monitoring of scrubber efficiency in pollution control systems and in the management of light bulb and switchgear recycling, where mercury-containing components must be safely handled and monitored.
With its precise detection capabilities and portability, the Jerome J405 is a trusted choice across industries where accurate mercury detection, process control, and environmental safety are paramount.
