<strong>methylene_beam</strong>, what other species are likely to be present in the water samples? As you know, most chemical reactions
occur as an equilibrium. In analytical chemistry, it's important to know what species are present so that the equilibrium can be shifted as far as
feasible in favor of the desired analyte. And, given the level of public paranoia surrounding mercury and environmental mercury contamination, it's
likely that someone has already come up with a highly sensitive and reliable technique based on the fluorescence detector by now. Would it be worth
searching for published techniques, or are you trying to come up with your own/something new?
