Statement of Work (SOW) Project (Product):

Purchase of a Total Organic Carbon (TOC) / Total Nitrogen (TN) analyzer

GENERAL INFORMATION

1.0 Scope of Work: Vendor is to deliver a new TOC/TN analyzer with integrated autosampler, analytical software, installation, and operator training.

2.0 Background: A TOC/TN analyzer uses total combustion to analyze organic carbon in aqueous media. While usually used for environmental work, this instrument is required to evaluate total carbon and nitrogen in research samples.

CONTRACTOR REQUIREMENTS

3.0 Technical Requirements/Tasks:

Technical Specifications:

1. Halogen scrubber to remove corrosive gases produced when measuring samples containing salts

2. Total Carbon (C) detection range of 50 μg/l to 30,000 ppm, or better

3. Total Inorganic Carbon (IC) detection range of 50 μg/L to 3,000 ppm, or better

4. N detection range of 5 μg/l to 10,000 ppm, or better

5. Ability to program and store furnace temperatures to accommodate various methods

6. Dilution feature to automatically detect samples that have exceeded the selected calibration range and dilutes them to fall within the selected range

7. Multiple pre-set application ranges for analytical requirements

8. Auto-calibration eliminates the need for manual standard preparation

9. Auto-blanking capabilities

10. TOC/TN analyzer footprint not to exceed W (15”) x D (30”)

11. Integrated autosampler with 1-10 ml sample vials and capacity to hold minimum of 90 tubes. Autosampler footprint not to exceed W (15”) x D (30”)

12. Installation
