## Summary

The National Physical Laboratory is seeking suppliers for its requirement titled "RFQ: Supply of Mass flow controller (MFC) system," aimed at enhancing its type testing facilities. This procurement falls under the goods category, specifically laboratory, optical, and precision equipment. The tender is currently in the active stage, with a deadline for submissions set for 21 June 2021.

Companies that can provide advanced mass flow controllers that minimise sample loss will have a competitive edge in this tender.

## Notice

The National Physical Laboratory's requirement is for an automated mass flow controller system with vaporizer to be used in type testing facilities. The purpose is to deploy this gas flow control system in a programable and automated fashion, so the tests being carried out in the facilities can be run autonomously. The mass flow controllers must also be coated to minimize sample lost by wall reactions.
