- Description
- The Department of the Interior, U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), Branch of Regional Research, has a requirement for an elemental analyzer. This is a Brand Name or Equal requirement to an Elementar Americas Inc. product of One (1) Vario ISOTOPE Cube - CNS - IRMS - CHNS Analyzer (Part # 15.00-0000), with the standard 80 position autosampler. The purpose of this requirement is for an elemental analyzer that can be connected to our 4 existing IsoPrime or Optima stable isotope mass spectrometers as needed for simultaneous analysis of organic samples for C-N-S-H isotopes and C-N-S-H elemental abundances. We want to be able to analyze all three isotopes from a single sample instead of having to do separate analyses for C-N and then for S isotopes using separate samples. This instrument will also provide a replacement for our two 15-20 year old elemental analyzers used for separate analyses of C-N isotopes and S isotopes on our Optima and IsoPrime mass spectrometers. It will also allow us to analyze smaller samples, at higher precisions, and more samples at the same time. Please refer to the salient characteristics (minimum requirements) under Technical Specifications to review the needs of this item. This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items prepared in accordance with the format in FAR Subpart 12.6, as supplemented with additional information included in this notice.
