Summary (Newest Update)

Background The National Lab for Agriculture and the Environment, part of the USDA ARS, is seeking to procure an Automated Aqueous Combustion Total Organic Carbon (TOC) Analyzer. This acquisition aims to enhance their capabilities in analyzing high salt content samples, which are critical for their research and operational needs. The current equipment is inadequate due to its reliance on multi-port valves and syringes that are prone to errors when handling such samples. Work Details The contract includes the following items: 1. Aqueous Combustion Total Organic Carbon Analyzer - Quantity: 1 EA - Product/Service Code: 6640 - Product/Service Description: Laboratory Equipment and Supplies - Specifications include: - Catalytic combustion with adjustable furnace temperatures (680°C - 1000°C). - Flow-through Non-Dispersive Infrared (NDIR) detector. - Capability to perform TOC, TC-IC, TC, and IC assays on liquid matrices. - Large calibration range (0-20,000 ppm) without sample dilution. - Integrated 30 position autosampler for 40 mL vials. - Must not utilize multi-port valves or syringe drives for sample introduction. 2. Delivery, Installation, and End-User Training - Quantity: 1 EA - Product/Service Code: 6640 - Product/Service Description: Laboratory Equipment and Supplies.
