The Health and Safety Executive awarded a contract to Agilent Technologies UK Limited for the supply of a headspace gas chromatograph mass spectrometer system to enhance the analytical capability of the Health and Safety Laboratory (HSL).

The system includes an autosampler capable of both headspace and liquid injection, a gas chromatograph, and a single quadrupole mass spectrometer with EI and CI ionization, fully integrated and controlled by a computer system with appropriate software.

It will be used for the analysis of very low levels of analytes in complex biological matrices, including pesticides, solvents, aromatic amines, isocyanates, and various carcinogens and their metabolites, and is expected to help develop new assays and improve existing ones.

The instrument replaces two existing instruments over 15 years old, one broken and beyond repair, and is expected to run over 2000 hours per annum.

The contract value is £74,109.28.
