About

The Defence Science & Technology Laboratory (DSTL) awarded a contract to Metrohm (UK) Ltd for the supply, installation, and demonstration of a benchtop ion chromatograph (IC) system.

The system is required to perform efficient rapid and slow, high and low pressure separations, with versatility to switch rapidly between two installed columns and multiple mobile phase channels.

It must include conductivity detection (suppressed and unsuppressed modes) and amperometric detection for analysis of unknown samples to determine a broad range of chemical ions.

The IC system must enable automated analysis of a sample such that two distinct chromatographic separations can be made from one sample vial in parallel, with one channel providing amperometric detection and the second providing conductivity detection.

All components must be supplied from the same manufacturer to simplify servicing, maintenance, and minimise training burden.

Through-life servicing and repair for a minimum of 7 years, including 24-48 hour call out options supported by qualified UK-based engineers, must be ensured.

The total cost of the IC system is ≤ £100k (incl.

VAT), and delivery is required by 30 March 2018, with installation and demonstration to meet manufacturer specifications within six weeks of delivery.

The contract value is AUD 72,242.26.
