HP Portable Desk jet Laser 3 40C. Design Qualifications: The following analysis will be required: Ambient air toxics-detection level of 1 ppb/v for EPA air toxics with at least 1L of air sample collected on absorbent. Ambient air toxics -- Direct injections of 1mL for emergencies and soil gas analyses. VOA -- Analyze 5mL of water by purge & trap. VOA -- Sparging capability. BNA -- Spitless injections 1-3 uL of methylene chloride & hexane extracts. BNA -- autosmapler available. Operating Environment: Must be capable of operating from field generator for power. Temperature range-20 to 95F. Humidity up to 100%. Must be rugged to transported in the back of a truck over a dirt road and not lose vacuum, tuning, and calibration. Performance (capability): Ambient air toxics -- Interfacing with a PE or Entch preconcentrator for canister analysis. VOA -- Interfacing with Tekmar ALS. BNA -- Large volume injection capability-50uL (thermal concentration). GC: Heated: ambient to 300C with multiramp programing. C02 capability for sub ambient cooling. Large enough for a 60m capillary column. Handle 0.2 to 0.5mm capillary columns with flows 1-5 ml/min. Splitless injector EPC autosampler capabilities. MS: Range35-600 amu. Sensitivity 5NG of DFTPP & 5NG of BFB. Must have SIM mode. Scan speed 0.5 to 1 sec for 35-450 amu. Pump down in less than 1 hour to operating condition. Vacuum in 10-5 torr range. Must have an isolation valve. Software: Windows 950S. Mouse controlled (compatibility with HP Enviroquant is a plus) Automatic Tune check routines for BFB and DFTPP. Automatic Initial & Continuous Calibration check routines for %RSD & %D. Automatic TIC library search routine. Air Toxics: The absorbent tubes must be transportable to collect the samples apart from the instrument and then installed for analyses. Desorption temp at least 200 C. IN EMERGENCIES, MUST BE ABLE TO HAVE FIELD ENGINEER ON SITE WITHIN 24 HR OF INITIAL CALL. THREE HR TELEPHONE, RESPONSE CALL TO TECHNICAL QUESTIONS 8-5 EST. MUST HAVE TEST RESULTS (QC) FROM THE MANUFACTURER AS TO THE OPERATIONS BEFORE SHIPPING. All necessary manuals supplied. Initial start-up electronic self tests and software validation: Back up copies of software provided. Required Acceptance tests to confirm the design qualifications: In House Initial Installation using portable generator: Tuning (DFTPP & BFG) at 5ng injection -- Must pass EPA's CLP criteria. Initial Calibration -- Must have less than 20%RDS, CLP criteria for VOA&BNA. Continuous Calibration & Tuning -- Must have less than 25% Dover a 10 hr period of operation. QC samples -- Must be within 25% of the mean accepted value for the VOA and NIST air toxic sample at 1 ppb. Area counts for IS for VOA, air toxics, & BNAs -- 50 to 150 of mean initial calibration. Field Demonstration for VOA or air toxics. Instrument must MAINTAIN TUNE OVER A 10 HR PERIOD (DFTPP & BFB) MAINTAIN INITIAL CALIBRATION OVER A 10 HR PERIOD FOR AIR VOA & BNA ANALYSES. (0224)
