Notice Title
Multi-Collector ICP-MS Instrument for Isotope Analysis
Notice Description
This project is for the supply of a Multi-Collector Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometer (MC-ICP-MS) for the Geochemistry Group of the University of Southampton based at the National Oceanography Centre Southampton. The instrument we seek will complement our existing instrument capabilities ( including Multi-Collector ICP-MS, Sector Magnet ICP-MS, Quadrupole and Triple-Quad ICP-MS). The primary requirement is for a MC-ICP-MS instrument that will provide accurate and precise boron isotope ratio analyses of carbonate materials (such asstony coral, foraminifera, calcite, carbonate pellets) via laser ablation. Specialised analyses of this type are a major research focus of our group and we have experienced and committed research staff who will support the analytical developments of this project. A secondary requirement is for this instrument to make accurate and precise measurements of isotope ratios of other elements (other than gases) in a wider range of materials via laser ablation and solution-based sample introduction systems. Sample types will include both natural materials(rocks and minerals, seawater, other natural waters, biological materials, etc.) and synthetic materials (nanoparticles, manufactured products, etc.).

The University proposes to enter into a Contract for 1 year plus an optional year dependant on the warranty levels offered by tenderers in their Tender submission. There will be an optional 3 year extension for support and maintenance subject to satisfactory performance and at the discretion of the University. The Contract will be effective on signing. The initial term of the warranty will run from the date of commissioning of the equipment at the University with extensions if agreed, running from the expiry of the initial contract period, if so agreed by the University. The Contract will be for a maximum of 5 years from the date of commissioning at the University.
