description
Mass Spectrometer
Essential requirements:
| - | 1-200 AMU range |
| - | Instrument PC controlled via rs232/Ethernet/USB or other physical cable connection (i.e. not wifi) |
| - | Triple filtered single quadrupole |
| - | Sub ppm resolution across all analytes of interest - to be supplied with ITT |
| - | Corrosion resistant internals - HCl is the particular corrosion problem but SO2, Cl2 and Phosgene are also problems for stainless steel. 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 < 100 ms |
| - | ≤5 ppb resolution for most analytes of interest |
| - | Automated spectral analysis to give peak identification and composition analysis |
| - | Manufacturer to provide on-site training package for a minimum of two Dstl staff upon installation of equipment |
| - | Networkable comms to allow monitoring outside of lab (possibility to run equipment on virtual machines over network) |
| - | Communications protocols which allow integration with other automated equipment in lab via Azeotech DAQ Factory |
| - | Multi year support contract (>3 <5 years as part of the quote) |
| - | Custom built trolley to allow MS to be sited under fume cupboards |
| - | License for software to be installed on at least 6 different PCs (to cover the 3 Mass specs and 3 virtual networked machines) |
