New regulatory frameworks and raw water protection regulations require comprehensive self-monitoring by water utilities and operators, including advanced analytical methods such as nitrogen excess (N<sub>2<\/sub>\/Ar) analysis.<\/p>\n<p>This significantly increases demand for reliable measurement technologies capable of delivering high-precision data for:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>groundwater protection programs<\/li>\n<li>nitrate and nitrite risk assessment<\/li>\n<li>evaluation of denitrification processes<\/li>\n<li>early risk detection for drinking water supply<\/li>\n<li>regulatory reporting and compliance<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>By integrating Hiden Analytical systems into an officially accredited DAkkS measurement scope, this development establishes MIMS-based analysis as a&nbsp;trusted solution for operational groundwater monitoring.<\/p>\n<h2>Technology Behind the Accreditation<\/h2>\n<p>The&nbsp;HPR-40 MIMS&nbsp;enables continuous, in-situ measurement of dissolved gases such as&nbsp;N<sub>2<\/sub>, Ar, O<sub>2<\/sub>, CO<sub>2<\/sub>, CH<sub>4<\/sub> and N<sub>2<\/sub>O&nbsp;directly in water. This allows real-time assessment of denitrification processes under real environmental conditions, delivering&nbsp;high accuracy, strong reproducibility and reliable long-term performance&nbsp;compared to conventional laboratory-based methods.<\/p>\n<h2>Strategic Importance for the Market<\/h2>\n<p>This accreditation represents a key milestone for the adoption of&nbsp;Hiden Analytical&nbsp;mass spectrometry systems in groundwater monitoring across Germany and Europe. It demonstrates that Hiden systems are not only research instruments, but&nbsp;regulatorily recognized analytical solutions&nbsp;suitable for official monitoring programs, water utilities, environmental authorities and accredited laboratories. Peter Hatton, Director at Hiden Analytical, commented&nbsp;<em>\u201cThe inclusion of Hiden Analytical\u2019s HPR-40 MIMS system within a DAkkS-accredited analytical scope marks a decisive step toward establishing mass spectrometry-based N<sub>2<\/sub><\/em><em>\/Ar analysis as a standard tool for groundwater protection and regulatory monitoring.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<div id=\"sources\" class=\"content-source below-content-common-a\">\n<div class=\"content-src-value\">\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hidenanalytical.com\/\" rel=\"sponsored noopener\">Hiden Analytical <\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/blockads.fivefilters.org\"> <\/a><\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/blockads.fivefilters.org\/acceptable.html\"> <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8230; solution for operational groundwater monitoring. <span class=\"match\">Technology<\/span> Behind the Accreditation The\u00c2\u00a0HPR &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-108164","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","wpcat-1-id"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/new7.shop\/zerocostfreehost\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/108164","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/new7.shop\/zerocostfreehost\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/new7.shop\/zerocostfreehost\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/new7.shop\/zerocostfreehost\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/new7.shop\/zerocostfreehost\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=108164"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/new7.shop\/zerocostfreehost\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/108164\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/new7.shop\/zerocostfreehost\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=108164"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/new7.shop\/zerocostfreehost\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=108164"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/new7.shop\/zerocostfreehost\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=108164"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
