Specifications include, but are not limited to: ➢ Analyzer should be a simultaneous reading ICP-OES using solid-state detector technology ➢ Vertical plasma with a single-piece torch design. After mounting the torch, no further manual adjustment of the torch is required for alignment. ➢ Pressure monitoring capabilities within the sample introduction system (nebulizer pressure at minimum) that can be monitored and reviewed from the system controller ➢ Instrument must be able to simultaneously perform determinations across the entire spectrum, both UV and visible, in a single measurement on a single detector. ➢ Bench-top model. No floor-mounted analyzers. ➢ Dual view vertical plasma with the option to read axially and radially. ➢ Must be capable of running organic (oil, MIBK, Kerosene, and Hexanes) as well as aqueous matrices. ➢ Must be compatible with laboratory conditions that range from 15 – 30oC and a relative humidity of 25 - 80 %. The instrument must be able to operate in laboratories with temperature changes of up to 2oC per hour without any degradation of performance. ➢ Must be non-condensing, non-corrosive. (Able to withstand high humidity environments indefinitely) ➢ Must be capable of performing semi-quantitative analysis ➢ The system must allow for on-line addition of internal standards. ➢ The instrument must meet all EPA contract lab required detection limits, for methods based on ICP-OES (200.7, 6010B/D). ➢ Must be new (unused, refurbished products are not acceptable) and a model currently in production. ➢ Autosampler and PC/Instrument controller should be included as options in the proposal. System will preferably be compatible with currently installed autosampler (CETAC AXS520) or equivalent. ➢ Warranty to include parts/labor/travel for no less than one year should be included, with option to extend warranty and/or add an annual service plan. ➢ Bid must include vendor representative visit to install/familiarize staff with operation (1 full day or more)
