- 38000000 - Laboratory, optical and precision equipments (excl. glasses)
two.1.3) Type of contract
Supplies
two.1.4) Short description
The Picarro G5310 gas concentration analyzer provides simultaneous, precise measurement of nitrous oxide (N2O), carbon monoxide (CO) at parts-per-trillion (ppt), and water (H2O) vapor at parts-per-million (ppm) sensitivity with negligible drift for atmospheric science, air quality, and emissions quantification.
two.1.6) Information about lots
This contract is divided into lots: No
two.1.7) Total value of the procurement (excluding VAT)
Value excluding VAT: £130,000

two.2.4) Description of the procurement
The Picarro G5310 gas concentration analyzer provides simultaneous, precise measurement of nitrous oxide (N2O), carbon monoxide (CO) at parts-per-trillion (ppt), and water (H2O) vapor at parts-per-million (ppm) sensitivity with negligible drift for atmospheric science, air quality, and emissions quantification. It meets the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) and Integrated Carbon Observation System (ICOS) performance requirements for N2O and CO atmospheric monitoring.
Simultaneous and continuous measurement of N2O and CO
Mid-IR CRDS for high precision and low drift analysis
Compliant with WMO and ICOS international ambient atmospheric monitoring requirements
Water correction automatically reports dry gas mole fractions
Precision at 5 seconds and 5 minutes is <200 and <40 ppt for N2O and for CO. Drift at standard temperature and pressure (STP) over 24 hours is <100 ppt for N2O and for CO. Water correction software automatically reports dry gas mole fractions to help reduce research complexity and consumable costs.
