The Scottish Environment Protection Agency (SEPA) is currently seeking tenders for the provision of an Ion Chromatography-Data System (IC-DS) for installation at their laboratory located at Eurocentral, Stirling, UK.

### Lot Information

Lot 1

SEPA require an Ion Chromatography-Data System (IC-DS) for installation at the SEPA Eurocentral laboratory. The system must be capable of analysing anions and cations in a variety of sample types from standard solutions to dirty sample matrices (high organic content and dissolved salts). Our preference is for a single dual system capable of accommodating both anions and cations, however consideration will be given to tenders offering two separate instruments with one dedicated to each analysis.
