University of Exeter awarded a contract to Agilent Technologies LDA UK Limited for the supply of a single quadrupole GCMS and an accurate mass GCMS.

The equipment supports the Upstream Thinking project, a joint venture between the Centre for Resilience in Environment, Waste and Water (CREWW) and South West Water, focusing on water quality in 8 catchments within Devon and Cornwall.

The systems will enable high-precision analysis of taste and odour compounds, primarily Geosmin and MIB, and allow for measurement of a wide range of compounds to future-proof the equipment and expand research scope.

The contract value is £349,175.16.
