What is being bought

Published requirement description

We are looking for a methane isotope analyser capable of making high-precision measurements of δ(13C) and δ(D) in methane in atmospheric air.

To meet our scientific needs, you must be able to demonstrate that the instrument can;

Make continuous measurements (1-minute) of δ(13C) and δ(D) in methane to the required precisions defined in the supplier response document.

Measure discrete samples (i.e. flask samples) for δ(13C) and δ(D) in methane to the required precisions defined in the supplier response document.

Be operated in both laboratory and field settings without compromising the specified performance.
