CILAS 990L Particle Size Analyzer
Environment Canada, Burlington, Ontario has a requirement for a CILAS, Orleans, France, Model 990L particle size analyzer with particle shape analysis for use in on going research activities of the department. The analyzer must incorporate particle sampling, laser particle sizing, image analysis and data management in its operation. This is a NO SUBSTITUTE requirement.
Environment Canada currently has a CILAS 910 analyzer that they have been transferring from a stand alone laboratory configuration for the processing of particle size distributions and shape, to experimental flume installations for real-time collection of data during experimental runs when needed. Such movement of the existing instrument is cumbersome and requires considerable effort and time to facilitate the transfer. Environment Canada is purchasing a new analyzer to be permanently installed on the flume within Environment Canada's hydraulics laboratory.
It is for compatibly reasons that the CILAS 990L (the latest version of the 910) is being specified with no substitute. It is scientifically critical for analytical consistency that the two particle sizers work on the same principals using similar sampling and data processing techniques and have mechanical operations (pumping, stirring, sonication, and imaging) that are identical. Failure to have this compatibility would result in significant quality assurance and quality control questions when providing data into nationally relevant data bases. The new analyzer will be installed on the existing flume which has been configured for the CILAS 910, therefore it is essential that the new analyzer have the same configuration and foot print.
The Bidder must submit, with their bid, documentation demonstrating that they are an authorized dealer of the manufacturer, CILAS, Orleans, France and are authorized to sell in Canada.
