LA2891C - TCD - RFT for the Supply of Two Dimensional Gas Chromatograph with a Mass Spectrometer and a Flame Ionisation Detector (GC GC - FID and MS)

Trinity College Dublin are sought for the supply and delivery of a Two-Dimensional Gas Chromatograph with a Mass Spectrometer and a Flame Ionization Detector (GC GC – MS and FID) for Trinity College Dublin (TCD). A state-of-the-art instrument (or suite of instruments) is required to perform identification and quantification of specific hydrocarbon types and polar species composition of liquid fuels, including petroleum distillates, crude oils and extending to fuels that result from experimental synthetic processes, in general accordance with ASTM D4054. The methodology of hydrocarbon compositional analysis MUST be in accordance with the standard procedure described in UDR Method – FC – M – 101 and the quantification of polar species MUST be in accordance with the standard procedures described in UDR Method – FC – M – 102. These standard procedures and methodologies are drafted by the Energy and Environmental Division of the University of Dayton Research Institute (UDRI), Dayton. Additionally, the instrument MUST be able to perform quantification of hydrocarbon types and components according to the standard procedures in ASTM D8396. The instrument MUST be equipped with a Flow Modulator connected between the primary and the secondary column. The two-dimensional GC system MUST be provided with a Mass Selective Detector, preferably a single quadrupole mass spectrometer.
