Ultra High Liquid Chromotography (UHPLC) Equipment

The Canadian Explosives Research Laboratory (CERL) of Natural Resources Canada operates a combined Thermo Scientific Ion Chromatography (IC) / High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) station.This chromatography station is routinely used for the analysis of commercial explosives, homemade explosives and precursor chemicals as part of its mandated work.

Both the HPLC and IC equipment of the chromatography station are operated through a single data station, which runs Thermo Scientific ChromeleonTM Chromatography Data System (CDS) software (minimum Version 7.2). The chromatography station also includes a Thermo Scientific ISQ EC mass spectrometer. The HPLC equipment currently utilized with the Thermo Scientific ChromeleonTM data station is obsolete and in need of replacement.

The UHPLC (ultra-high pressure liquid chromatography) equipment consisting of the major components below, must meet all of the mandatory technical requirements as specified herein and the mandatory evaluation criteria as specified at Part 2 - Mandatory Technical Evaluation Criteria. The requirement must include all of the following:

- A quaternary, high pressure, dual piston mixing pump; - A thermostatted column compartment; - A UV/Vis detector; - An autosampler; - Technical documentation; - UHPLC on-site training; and - Option to purchase extended warranty. Delivery Date: Above-mentioned
