Scoot Particle - Aerosol Mass Spectrometer
Environment Canada (EC), Downsview, Ontario requires the supply
and delivery of one (1) complete and fully functional Scoot
Particle-Aerosol Mass Spectrometer to be delivered on or before
March 31, 2014. This instrument will be used to measure in real
time for aerosols' physical and chemical properties (e.g.
aerosol size and concentration; aerosol composition of black
carbon/soot, many other organic and inorganic species).
In its bid price, bidder must include the prices of any
components, peripherals or supplies required in order to provide
a system that is fully-functional upon delivery to EC and
complies with RFP Annex A.
Bidder's proposed system must meet all of the mandatory
requirements in order to be deemed responsive. Some of the
mandatory technical criteria are:
a. Intracavity laser vaporizer module (1064 nm) to detect near
infrared light absorbing particles including the refractory
carbon mass;
b. Tungsten made thermal vaporizer (operating at 600 degree
Celsius) to ionize non-refractory particle material;
c. The instrument must be able to operate with the laser
vaporizer alone, the tungsten vaporizer alone and with both
laser and tungsten vaporizers at the same time;
d. The detector must be high resolution mass spectrometer able
to continuously scan mass spectrums from 0 up to a minimum of
1000 amu with a minimum mass resolution of 5000 m/ m.
e. Ions must be generated using electron impact ionization
technique operating at 70 eV.
Please see the RFP for the complete list of the mandatory
technical criteria.
Basis of Selection will be based on the lowest responsive bid.
Pricing must be submitted in Canadian funds.
Delivery Date: Above-mentioned
