This procurement opportunity for an Aerosol Black Carbon Analyser at a remote observatory presents business growth potential for companies providing specialised analytical instruments. Companies capable of meeting the detailed requirements, including continuous operation in remote locations with specific measurement constraints, are well-suited to compete. The contract involves supplying and deploying the analyser within the specified budget and technical specifications, creating a niche market opening for interested suppliers.

## Notice

We are looking for an Aerosol Black Carbon Analyser to deploy at a remote atmospheric observatory. To meet our needs, you must be able to demonstrate and consider the following; o The analyser can be operated in a remote location continuously (i.e., 24/7). o The analyser can make measurements of Black Carbon at a frequency of 1 minute (60 seconds). o That the analyser can accurately measure Black Carbon in remote locations with a sensitivity better than 0.1 ug/m3 for a 1-minute measurement. o That the analyser has an hourly limit of detection better than 0.02 ug/m3. o Can discriminate Black Carbon from fossil fuel versus biomass combustion. o Deliver a solution within our maximum allocated budget of ?43k including VAT (budget for proposed analyser only). o Data can be remotely accessed and transferred via local internet. o Can be calibrated in situ without the need to take the instrument out of service. o Mountable in a 19'' rack (6U) chassis.
