NW2833 Scientific Services Capex Framework

• Systems are currently used for drinking water (DW) analysis of final and raw waters for a range of herbicides and pesticides.
• Used for semi-quant analysis to identify SV unknowns
• Need library for ID
• Hydrogen (He alternative) to be used as carrier gas
• Autosampler capacity ca 50 place
• Chromatographic integration software

• Systems are currently used for drinking water (DW) analysis of final and surface waters for a range of herbicides and pesticides.
• First system will need to achieve limits of quantification (LoQ) calculated as defined by Drinking Water Inspectorate (DWI) regulations similar to existing for urons or as a minimum better than LoQ of 30% of PCV by either direct injection or via use of incorporated online enrichment for potable and surface water samples using a maximum sample volume of 5ml. Use triple quadruple technology.
• Second system (yr 3) is for the analysis of pesticides with same performance requirements as above
• Include automated online pre-concentration which is able to process up to 5ml sample
• Autosampler capacity ca 100 place
• Chromatographic integration software capable of CSV or similar format output

• System capable of achieving drinking water (DW) analysis as defined by Drinking Water Inspectorate (DWI) regulations of final and surface waters for a range of metals including: Cr, Ni, Ag, Cu, Zn, Pb, Cd & Hg.
• Achieve limits of quantification calculated as defined by Drinking Water Inspectorate (DWI) regulations similar to existing methods or as a minimum better than LoQ of 30% of PCV
• Autosampler capacity ca 150 place
• software capable of CSV or similar format output

• Flow cytometer benchtop cell-analysers capable of fast flow rates.
• Able to auto sample from 96 well plates or equivalent.
• Must feature acoustic hydrodynamic focussing.
• Equipped with a minimum of one laser at wavelength 488nm.
• Fluorescence resolution performance capability of CV

MICROBIOLOGY INCUBATORS

Required for the controlled incubation of microbiology culture samples.

AUTOCLAVES
