Published requirement description

The project, Upstream Thinking, is a joint venture between the Centre for Resilience in Environment, Waste and Water (CREWW) and South West Water. This phase of the project centres on water quality in 8 catchments within Devon and Cornwall. We are looking for the capability to analyse for taste and odour compounds with high precision, mainly Geosmin and MIB at this time, but also to allow for the measurement of a wide range of compounds, which will future proof the equipment and increase the scope of the research going forward. To achieve this, we are looking to purchase a single quadrupole GCMS and an accurate mass GCMS.
