Notice Description

Purchase of Aerodynamic Particle Spectrometer

Lot Information

Lot 1

This is a specialist piece of Laboratory research equipment and there are no other suppliers available in the market to supply this type of equipment in the form factor required. The Aerodynamic Particle Spectrometer (supplied by TSI Instruments Limited) features the ability to measure individual particles in an accelerating flow field to determine the time-of-flight of the particle. Airborne solids, non-volatile liquids and Aerodynamic particle size in the range from 0.5 to 20 um can also be measured. Optical light scattering intensity 0.37 to 20 um optical size range. Coincidence of less than 2% at 1,000 P/cm3 and a detection system. Raw data acquired in 1,000 raw data channels. Site resolution 0.02 um at 1.0 um diameter. Sampling time programmable from 1 second to 18 hours. The principal purpose of the contract is to acquire goods in connection with research undertaken by the University
