1. Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) research laboratories in Montreal, Quebec, and Burlington, Ontario have a requirement for the supply, delivery, installation and training for two (2) new Ultra High Performance Liquid Chromatograph (UHPLC) Tandem Mass Spectrometer (MS/MS) systems (one for each location) to be used for quantitative analysis of a wide variety of organic contaminants in environmental samples
The UHPLC-MS/MS systems will be used for sensitive, accurate, and selective quantitative analysis of organic contaminants under ECCC’s mandate of protecting and conserving the natural environment in Canada. The systems must be comprised of an ultra high performance liquid chromatography module (UHPLC) coupled to a tandem mass spectrometer (MS/MS) based on tandem multipole (including quadrupole, hexapole, octupole etc) mass spectrometry technology.
