Tekran® was founded in Toronto, Canada in 1989 to develop custom analytical instrumentation for environmental analysis. Their first analyzer, the Tekran® 2537, was introduced in 1993 and is now widely accepted as the gold standard for automated ambient air analysis of mercury. Tekran® continues to expand and improve their product lines, which are focused exclusively on instruments and systems for mercury measurement. They now offer systems for ambient air mercury speciation monitoring, automated analysis of total mercury and methyl mercury in environmental samples, total mercury in natural gas, and mercury continuous emission monitoring of coal-fired power plants and other industrial emission sources. They also offer a wide range of secondary equipment to support their main product lines.

Tekran® Instruments Corporation is the world’s leading manufacturer of advanced systems for ambient air, laboratory analysis, and point-source mercury monitoring. With pioneering expertise in cold vapor atomic fluorescence detection, Tekran® has become the trusted source for accurately and reliably measuring ultra-trace levels of mercury. Tekran® has provided more automated air analyzers and Hg-CEM monitoring systems than any other supplier worldwide.

Tekran® is an international leader in environmental measurement technology, serving the needs of industry, government and research institutions with applications ranging from pure research to primary manufacturing. They revolutionized continuous mercury monitoring through the use of cold vapor atomic fluorescence spectrophotometry and pure gold preconcentration. Tekran’s systems for ultra-trace measurement of mercury in ambient air, stack emissions and environmental samples are extraordinarily sensitive and robust with detection limits of less than 1 picogram absolute and practical immunity to interfering compounds.
