Attachment 001 Specifications Photometric Analyzer
Purchase Objective: The Soil Management and Sugar Beet Research Unit requires one discrete photometric analyzer for soil, water, plant and manure testing with the following specifications:
Specifications – 1 Each Brand Name or Equal to Thermo Fisher Scientific Gallery Plus ECM
1. A dilutor that can be set using the included software for dilution as required for each individual sample both prior and during an analytical run.
2. A sample test capacity of at least 200 sample tests for an individual run, and these placed on sample racks to allow for refrigerated sample storage as needed before and after an analytical run.
This is to enable the operator to prepare samples in advance of an analytical run and store them in refrigeration until the next analytical run. The sample tubes must be of sufficient volume to allow at least ten samplings from each tube by the analytical apparatus.
3. The capacity to run more than one analytical channel simultaneously.
4. Be able to accommodate samples racks capable of holding tubes with the recommended capacity of about 13 ml.
5. The capacity for analytical cycle times that would allow for 120 samples per hour for nitrate and ortho phosphate and other common analytes.
6. The capacity to use the well established wet chemistry techniques allowing for the continuity of the analytical methods already employed for: ortho phosphate, total nitrogen, ammonia (in both low and high salt solutions), nitrate (in both high and low salt solutions), silica, chloride, bromide, urea (in fresh and brackish waters), total phosphorus, conductivity, and pH.
7. Have analytical methods available to analyze urea N in freshwater and saline extracts.
8. Have analytical methods available that yield results with at least the following sensitivities: nitrate potable water and in high salt with detection limit of .2 ppm, ammonium potable water and in high salt of 0.1ppm, chloride of 2.5ppm, ortho phosphate of 0.010ppm, silica of .2ppm, bromide .5ppm, Urea N in fresh water of .015ppm, and sulfate of 3ppm.
9. Shall have the ability of at least ten built in photometric channels (at least 10 optical filters) with a spectral range of at least 275-880 nm to allow for multiple wavelengths to be used across different analyses.
10. Shall have a variable measurement temperature cell from 25-60 ˚C.
11. Shall have the ability to add additional samples during test process.
12. Shall have the ability to collect and store photometric waste.
13. Shall have the capability of adding an ion chromatography channel.
14. One set each of all operating manuals for the equipment and software.
15. On-site installation.
16. Appropriate Training for 2 people and technical support to fully equip users to properly and effectively use and maintain the system in peak operating condition.
17. A standard commercial warranty on the equipment and software.
18. The ability to use disposable sample vials/tubes as well as premade reagents.
