Environment Canada (Prairie & Northern Laboratory for Environmental Testing (PNLET) in Edmonton) requires the purchase of a Liquid Chromatograph Tandem Mass Spectrometer (LC-MS/MS) for the quantitative and qualitative analyses of a wide variety of trace level environmental organic compounds. This instrument will be used as a forensic analysis tool for the enforcement of Canadian environmental regulations under the Canadian Environmental Protection Act (CEPA), Fisheries Act and other related acts/regulations as well as new method development and environmental research projects.
