    Brief

    This procurement opportunity is for the supply, delivery, and installation of a dual-inlet isotope-ratio mass spectrometer in Ireland. The instrument will perform high-precision measurements (0.001‰ accuracy) of dissolved nitrogen gas (N2) in water samples through dual-inlet analysis. The system will accept offline-extracted and purified dissolved gas samples via detachable dip tubes on one inlet, while the second inlet connects to a custom reference gas mixture containing N2, Ar, and Kr. The equipment will be used to quantify excess biogenic N2 in aquatic environments resulting from nitrate reduction processes. By measuring argon and krypton ratios, the instrument can correct for physical processes affecting N2/Ar measurements, such as bubble injection in groundwater systems and temperature-dependent solubility variations. N2 isotope analysis will identify the source and processing signals associated with denitrification. Qualified suppliers should have expertise in isotope-ratio mass spectrometry, precision gas analysis systems, and installation of laboratory analytical equipment.
