LEE094C - Two Quadrupole ICPMS instruments and aJet interface (3 Lots) for UCD School of Earth Sciences

The Education Procurement Service (EPS) on behalf of University College Dublin (UCD) (the “Contracting Authority”) invites tenders (“Tenders”) to this request for tenders (“RFT”) from economic operators (“Tenderers”) for the Supply, Delivery, Installation, Commissioning of two Quadrupole ICPMS instruments and Jet interface (3 Lots) for University College Dublin. UCD Earth Institute The Earth Institute is a multidisciplinary research and education centre that aims to contribute to sustainable solutions for many of the pressing Earth-related problems affecting societies now and in the near future. Situated on the newly developed 4th floor of UCDs O’Brien Science centre, the largest science hub in Ireland. The Institute brings together the expertise and perspectives of over 200 researchers (including around 80 principal investigators) working across connected earth and environmental research areas, from Crops for the Future, Climate, Energy & Resources, Green Technology, Built Environment and Water Ecology & Evolution and Natural Hazards & Risk. Our members are engaged with stakeholders and partners in all levels of society; public, industry, local and national government, national agencies and the education sector. Proposals are sought for the supply and installation of: two quadrupole ICPMS instruments and Jet Interface. Supplier can propose solution to one or more lots. Lot 1, a Quadrupole ICPMS to be used primarily for solution work; Lot 2, a Quadrupole ICPMS to be used in laser ablation mode Lot 3, an essential upgrade for the existing Neptune system including installation of a Jet interface. All three lots will be installed at the National Centre for Isotope Geochemistry, UCD School of Earth Sciences, University College Dublin. The intention is that Lot 2 will be coupled (a) with an excimer laser-ablation system and (b) with a Neptune MC-ICPMS for simultaneous analysis of elemental concentrations and isotope ratios.
