    Brief

    NPL is seeking engagement with suppliers of advanced inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometer (ICP-MS) systems for trace element analysis applications. Key technical requirements include: collision/reaction cell technology to resolve isobaric interferences; four-channel cell gas control system supporting multiple collision and reaction cell gases; dual mass filter quadrupoles with precise ± 1 amu ion selection control capability both before and after the collision/reaction cell; single particle ICP-MS functionality for nanoparticle characterization and analysis; and high matrix introduction capability accommodating solutions with up to 25% total dissolved solids. This engagement is exploratory in nature and is not an evaluation exercise. Participation in this activity will not restrict suppliers from engaging with NPL in any subsequent invitation to tender (ITT) or procurement process.
