SAMPLES COLLECTED IN VIALS ALLOW FOR ONE INSTRUMENT TO PERFORM SEVERAL CHEMICAL ANALYSES INSTEAD OF JUST ONE. THE BMI AUTOCOLLECTOR IS THE ONLY KNOWN SAMPLING SYSTEM WHICH POSSESSES AUTOMATED OPERATION, ABILITY TO COLLECT AEROSOL PARTICLES ON A TIMESCALE OF MINUTES FOR RAPID AIRBORNE MEASUREMENTS, DELIVERS SAMPLES IN THE AQUEOUS PHASE FOR MEASUREMENT OF WATER SOLUBLE CHEMICAL SPECIES, AND ALLOWS FOR ANALYSIS OF A SINGLE SAMPLE BY SEVERAL DIFFERENT ANALYTICAL TECHNIQUES. OFFERORS WHO BELIEVE THEY MAY OFFER AN EQUAL OR BETTER SYSTEM MAY REQUEST FULL SOLICITATION BY CONTACTING RANDALL BROWN AT FAX (206) 526-6025.
