Hastelloy or similar alloy materials will be needed for exposed components. - Multi stream valve inlet to allow 3 or more inlets - Fast response, heated quartz inert capillary sample inlet - sufficient to display 'real time' detection - Heated transfer line(s) - up to 200 degrees to avoid condensation of vapours. For DMMP, we need to avoid condensation and run "cleaning/flushing" to clear contamination of the sample line. - PC software that can automatically output quantifiable results - PC software that can allow full calibration and easy data interpretation - generation of standard curves from calibrated gas samples e.g. Ethylene Oxide from which quantification of unknown samples can be made. - License for software to be installed on at least 3 different PCs (to cover the 3 Mass specs) - UK based, In-house engineering support with next day call out - Mass spectral database software to automatically identify unknown chemicals - In-house customisation options to fit our needs - what capability has the supplier got to provide and support modified off the shelf items e.g. corrosion-resistant sample accessories? - Not exceed 80x80x80cm in size - Manufacturer suppled onsite training on delivery and set up of equipment at Dstl Porton Down ### Desirable requirements - 1-300 AMU range - Detection of low ppm to high percentage concentrations of analytes in 3 Read full description ## CPV classification Mass spectrometer Source Contracts Finder (UK) [View official notice](https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/notice/2da462ea-dbb4-416a-a35e-50e5eb96327c) Never miss a tender like this again Get AI summaries, deadline alerts and a bid pipeline for tenders matched to your business.
