Gas chromatographs with flame ionization detector / Qty (6)
The Drug Analysis Service (DAS) from Health Canada, Regions and Programs Bureau, requires the purchase of six (6) gas chromatographs with flame ionization detector. Each instrument must be equipped with an autosampler which can accommodate 150 samples with two (2) injectors, two (2) injection ports "split/splitless" type, two (2) flame ionization detectors (FID), a barcode reader (10 characters) a data processing system (computer) and a printer. In addition, the manufacturer must also provide the software needed for the proper functioning of all modules of the instrument as well as raw data recording.
1. The operating software of the new instruments must be compatible with the software currently used. This is necessary for the treatment of previously acquired raw data. Over the past years, databases were built with more than 1,100 drug references. Consistency in the format of our data and a high degree of confidence in the continuity of our operations will then be assured. The use of the ChemStation platform, provided by Agilent, ensures us a seamless transition for user.
Another benefit is that no training will be required for the use of the new instruments, representing a significant saving in training time and analysis.
2. The oven must allow for up to 20 programs of temperature ramps, as well as 21 plateaus. Negative ramps must also be possible. This allows greater flexibility in the development of new method to meet the most complex separation needs.
3. The chromatographic performance regarding retention time must be 107 (± 10%). The DAS quantify a number of controlled substances and this linearity allows us a greater range of quantification.
7. The oven cooling time in typical conditions of use (450°C to 50°C; without accessories such as the 'fast GC') must be 4 minutes or less. This represents a non-negligible time economy, increasing our execution speed per analysis.
8. The system must allow pressure electronic control of ± 0.001 psi (for a pressure between 0 and 99,999 psi). Greater retention time reproducibility is then obtained.
9. Following the ISO 17025 accreditation of all the DAS laboratories, several procedures were set up to meet the requirements of the International Organization for Standardization. The creation of procedures have required a significant investment in terms of human resources (writing, revision, training, maintenance, etc.) and monetary. A change of the current platform (Agilent) would require a complete redesign of several procedures (for example, the procedures surrounding the use, maintenance and the qualification of the GC - FID).
1. System capabilities Electronic pressure control (EPC) with a precision to ±0.001 psi; Retention time repeatability 107 Triadecane sensitivity
