AccuSift provides high‑performance mercury competitive assay pairings, characterized by exceptional batch‑to‑batch consistency and optimized for IVD kit development (Lateral Flow, Chemiluminescence, ELISA, POCT). These pairings offer high affinity and specificity, facilitating rapid detection.Mercury (Hydrargyrum) is a chemical element with the symbol Hg, positioned in Group IIB, Period 6, atomic number 80. Commonly known as quicksilver, it is the only metallic element that exists in liquid form at room temperature and pressure.It is a silvery‑white, shiny heavy liquid that evaporates at room temperature. Metallic mercury is reducing, with oxidation states of +2 and +1. Mercury is a potent neurotoxin; its elemental form and many compounds are toxic to varying degrees, causing chronic poisoning.The Minamata Convention on Mercury came into force in China on August 16, 2017, explicitly banning the production of mercury‑containing thermometers and sphygmomanometers from January 1, 2026. On October 27, 2017, the World Health Organization’s International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) listed mercury and inorganic mercury compounds as Group 3 carcinogens. On July 23, 2019, mercury and its compounds were included in the List of Toxic and Hazardous Water Pollutants (First Batch) in China.Performance Characteristics:
