About
UK Shared Business Services Limited awarded a contract to Isoprime Ltd for the purchase of a trace gas preconcentrator to enable the CEH isotope facility at Lancaster to carry out critical trace gas CO2, CH4, and N2O analyses, fulfilling contractual agreements with projects linked to the LSMSF laboratory, including a large number of CWI and NC projects.
The instrument previously used for these requirements was over 16 years old and had become unreliable due to cryo-trap heater failures and 6-way valve failure, requiring uneconomical operator input to maintain and run.
The contract value is £41,666.66.
