## Summary

The procurement process involves Public Health England seeking a compatible microflow injector for an existing Thermo Fisher iCAP Q ICPMS system, classified under laboratory and precision equipment. The tender, which is currently in the active stage, was published on 17th March 2016, and responses must be submitted by 21st March 2016 at 23:59:59 GMT. The total estimated value of this contract is £15,000, with delivery addresses including locations across the UK and international territories.

This tender presents a strategic opportunity for businesses specialising in laboratory equipment and supplies, particularly those that can meet the specific technical requirements surrounding microflow injectors. Companies with expertise in precision instruments and those capable of demonstrating unique capabilities in single particle indeterminate analysis would be particularly well-suited to compete. Engaging in this procurement process can allow such businesses to expand their clientele and strengthen their market presence in the healthcare sector.

## Notice

We believe there is a sole supplier who can provide this item (Teledyne CETAC ). This notice is to validate the above understanding. If you can provide this system, please express interest. Currently, it is well established that single particle ICPMS can be used to determine the number and size of nanoparticles in standards however, problems arise with samples where the quantity of nanomaterials is unknown because appropriate dilution of sample is required such that the nanomaterials enter the ICP-MS singly and sufficient enter over the analysis time for a representative analysis of the rage of nanomaterials present. With existing equipment, an estimate has to be made and if this is too dilute the opportunity is lost however, using this system a range of flow rates can be used or a range of in-line dilution steps can be used for a small amount of sample greatly increasing the likelihood that a perfect dilution will be achieved with the added bonus that data can be collected proving that this is so (fewer counts with higher dilutions, appearance of duplet counts with lower dilutions).
