Introduction The current nitrogen generator (Parker Balston N2-2010) has been discontinued and replacement parts are no longer available. Any downtime of this equipment is not acceptable, as it would require Health Canada (HC) to supply nitrogen to the instruments using large liquid nitrogen dewars. These dewars would have to be replaced weekly and thus present safety concerns.
Nitrogen (N2) supply is essential to the operation of Liquid Chromatograph (LC) / Mass Spectrometer (MS) systems. Serious consequences, in terms of instrument damage and sample loss, will occur if the N2 supply is stopped even for a short period of time.
Requirement Health Canada (HC), Food Program - Western Region Laboratory (FP-WRL) has a requirement for the supply and delivery of a Parker Balston N2-45 nitrogen generator to replace the current Parker Balston N2-2010 that was purchased in 2001.
HC-FP-WRL's current Parker Balston N2-2010 nitrogen generator which supplies nitrogen to 4 LC/MS/MS systems, is set up with 1/2" NPT inlet/outlet ports and fits within a 25"x25" footprint.
1. Compatibility of consumables: the N2-45 uses the same filters and hydrocarbon scrubbing tower as the current model. HC have these supplies on hand, and substitution would constitute a significant operating cost.
2. Equivalent footprint: the placement of the generator is in a tight space (25" x 25" footprint) within the laboratory. The footprint can not be changed and all controls must be on the front of the unit.
3. Iinstallation expenses: would not require any additional costs to adapt the current setup (e.g. placement of compressed air supply lines)
Proven technology: Parker Balston is recommended and used by all major LC/MS manufacturers.
Delivery: must be on or before March 28, 2013.
The total cost of the System must not exceed $27,000.00 Cdn, HST/GST extra. Delivery Date: Above-mentioned
