Section two: Object
two.1) Scope of the procurement
two.1.1) Title
CRC-MC-ICP-MSMS Collision reaction cell multi collector inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometer with MS MS capability
Reference number
UKRI 1472
two.1.2) Main CPV code
- 38433100 - Mass spectrometer
two.1.3) Type of contract
Supplies
two.1.4) Short description
BGS would like to procure a collision and reaction cell (CRC-) multi-collector (MC-) inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometer (ICP-MS) with MS/MS capability, hereafter referred to as a CRC-MC-ICP-MS/MS. A primary focus for this instrumentation will be direct analysis of solid materials, sampled by laser ablation (LA), for isotopic characterisation and dating using static spot, raster ablation and imaging protocols. Geochronology and isotopic characterisation using beta decay systems (Rb-Sr, K-Ca, Re-Os), U-Pb and U isotopes are a key focus, but other isotope system capabilities with this instrumentation are also of interest (e.g. Si, Fe, Cu and Sr-Nd-Hf-Pb).
two.1.5) Estimated total value
Value excluding VAT: £820,000
