66 -- HPLC SYSTEM SOL PROJPLN-3XBMTB DUE 092698 POC Linda J. Ketchum 513-487-2001 WEB: Office of Acquisition Management-Cincinnati Contracts, http://www.epa.gov/oam/cin_cmd. E-MAIL: Linda J. Ketchum Cincinnati Contracts Management Division, ketchum.linda@epamail.epa.gov. The US EPA Contracts Management Division in Cincinnati is accepting quotes for destination pricing for a HPLC system as follows: HPLC System consisting of four major components: 1. Autosampler -- an autosampler which can store a number of samples and then under the control of the data system, inject each sample into the HPLC separations unit. 2. Separations Unit -- the separations unit consists of a series of tubing, valves, bottles, and pumps that permit the analyst to store and pump up to 4 different solvents, degas each of these solvents, vary the concentrations of these 4 solvents being pumped into the chromatographic column, and heat the chromatographic column, all under computer control. 3. Detectors -- two different types of detectors are required. The first is a diode array detector that can detect either single or multiple UV wavelengths. The multiple wavelengths can be either a few selected wavelengths or it can scan over a broad range 190-800 nm with better than 1.5 nm resolution. Must have an <10ul capacity flow cell, with at least a 10 mm pathlength. Optimization of the lamp must be computer controlled. The second is a fluorescence detector, capable of scanning over a broad range of wavelengths. 4. Data System -- a computerized data system that is capable of controlling the functions listed in 1-3 above as well as storing and processing the data obtained from the detectors, or items 1-3 above that is fully compatible with our laboratories Water's Millennium 32 HPLC data system See Note 26 Posted 08/25/98 (W-SN241568).
