CEFAS21-123 RFQ for Spectrofluorometer

Tender description

The Analytical Chemistry laboratory at Cefas Lowestoft has a requirement for one (1) spectrofluorometer to support hydrocarbon analysis for a wide range of key government monitoring programmes. The system will be capable of simultaneously scanning excitation and emission wavelengths to produce synchronous fluorescence spectra. Cefas require: • 1 x spectrofluorometer capable of synchronous scanning of excitation and emission wavelengths (Minimal scanning wavelength range 200 to 750 nm) • High-speed scanning • High sensitivity signal-to-noise ratio 1000 or above (RMS) • Long life Xenon lamp • Minimum of four cuvettes compatible with analysis of fluorescing hydrocarbons in organic solvent (pentane) • Auto-zero capability to subtract solvent response • Controller PC with operating software compatible with current MS Windows versions (MS Windows10/11) • Ability to save results as data files. Delivery and Installation Requirements: It is important to Cefas that delivery is made before or during WC 21st March 2022 to ensure payment by end of Financial Year 21-22. If delivery cannot be accommodated in this timeframe, Cefas reserve the right to withdraw from the exercise or request additional documentation to be provided as evidence of ownership.
