Notice Information

Notice Title

Notice Description

The Scottish Ministers invites tenders for the purchase of a continuous flow analyser for the analysis of dissolved Total Alkalinity (TA) and Dissolved Inorganic Carbon (DIC) in seawater samples for use in the Marine Laboratory and potentially in oceanographic cruises.

Lot Information

Lot 1

The Scottish Ministers invites tenders for the purchase of a continuous flow analyser for the analysis of dissolved Total Alkalinity (TA) and Dissolved Inorganic Carbon (DIC) in seawater samples for use in the Marine Laboratory and potentially in oceanographic cruises. The continuous flow analysis system will be used by the Water Chemistry delivery area within the Science, Evidence, Data and Digital portfolio for the analysis of TA/DIC samples from the Marine Directorate (MD), part of the Scottish Government, groups and external customers for various purposes. The determination of TA and DIC allows to characterize the carbonate chemistry of the seawater. These data are routinely collected by MD environmental scientists to assess the levels of ocean acidification and its potential biological impacts in Scottish waters. This information is used to fulfil Scottish Government requirements for a number of statutory monitoring and report obligations about the status of the marine environment. They are also used by other MD colleagues and submitted to national/international databases. For these reasons the quality of these data is critical.
