Notice Title

UK SBS PR19096 ION CHROMATOGRAPHY SYSTEM

Notice Description

***PLEASE NOTE THIS IS AN AWARD NOTICE, NOT A CALL FOR COMPETITION*** **The final date and time for the submission of bids is 27/01/2020 at 11:00. DO NOT apply directly to the buyer. All tender information MUST be submitted through the Delta eSourcing Portal.** This requirement is for Ion Chromatography System that is capable of analysing the ion contents of ionic liquids (eg anion purity, halide impurities), anion or cation counterions in surfactants (eg sodium, lithium, potassium dodecylsulfates, metal ion impurities eg Ca) and potentially analysis of carbohydrates and amino acids, full details of which are contained in the UK SBS PR19096 Specification Document. This requirement for ISIS pulsed neutron and muon source which is a world-leading centre for research at the Science & Technology Facilities Council (STFC), Rutherford Appleton Laboratory (RAL) near Oxford, in the UK. Our suite of neutron and muon instruments give unique insights into the properties of materials on the atomic scale. The ISIS Deuteration Facility supports ISIS Users experiments by providing deuterated compounds for use within beamline experiments. The group is responsible for the synthesis of simple and more often large complex compounds. Part of this, we have a requirement to analyse the samples produced before handing over to the users. The type of samples that we produce range from simple perdeuterated fatty acids to complex surfactants where purity with respect to ion content is important. For certain systems the presence of other ions can have a major effect on the outcome of beamline experiments. Additional details : The total value of the Contract includes the cost of advertised Main Equipment with a value of PS81,498.36, and the cost of additional upgrades and extras with a value of PS17,241.86 which bring the total value to PS98,740.22.
