The Jerome J505 by Arizona Instruments is a portable mercury vapor analyzer using atomic fluorescence spectroscopy for ultra-sensitive mercury detection in ambient air analysis, cleanup compliance, disposal, recycling, and hazardous waste site monitoring. It detects mercury from 0.05–500 µg/m³ with a resolution of 0.01 µg/m³, with three operating modes: Standard (28-second response), Quick (16-second response), and Search (real-time hotspot tracking). A rechargeable NiMH battery provides 10+ hours of operation, and onboard datalogging stores up to 10,000 samples across 100 labeled test sites with USB export. Compliant with EPA, ATSDR, OSHA, NIOSH, and ACGIH remediation and safety guidelines.

What is the Jerome J505 used for?
It's a mercury vapor analyzer for low-level mercury monitoring, using atomic fluorescence spectroscopy and an efficient optical cell. It's a fit when you need low-level confirmation and defensible data during cleanup or exclusion work.
What makes the J505 different from other mercury vapor analyzers?
It uses fluorescence spectroscopy with a highly efficient optical cell that requires less flow to purge the system. Operationally, that's about measurement workflow and performance in low-level conditions, not just having a meter.
Why does the J505 mention lower purge flow and minimizing sample dilution?
Its optical cell design requires less flow to purge, allowing a lower flow rate and minimizing sample dilution. For low-level work, anything that reduces dilution helps maintain a representative sample at the measurement system.
Is the Jerome J505 positioned for EPA and ATSDR cleanup levels?
Yes — it meets EPA and ATSDR cleanup levels. Confirm your specific cleanup program's criteria and documentation requirements so your survey answers the right question.
Jerome J505 vs. Jerome J405 — how do I choose?
Choose based on your program's accepted instrument and workflow needs. The J505 uses fluorescence spectroscopy with an efficient optical cell for low-level work. If your work requires a specific approach your program expects, or your team's SOP is built around a particular model, follow that.
Does the Jerome J505 support datalogging?
Yes — datalogging is supported. If you need a defensible report, plan how you'll export and label logs by location and time before field work.
How much does it cost to rent the Jerome J505?
Listed rental rates are $500/day and $1,300/week. Pricing beyond two weeks is quoted — contact RAECO Rents.
