    Brief

    This procurement seeks a chemical imaging instrument capable of identifying, characterizing, and quantifying microplastics across various size ranges in water, wastewater, soil, and food samples. The system should utilize quantum cascade laser technology for direct infrared molecular imaging to provide detailed chemical composition data. Key requirements include: simultaneous analysis of multiple microplastic size ranges, rapid sample throughput with minimal processing time, molecular imaging and spectral analysis capabilities, and integrated user-friendly software with automated data analysis packages. The instrument must enable routine daily operations through a single analysis interface, making it accessible to laboratory staff with varying technical expertise. Suppliers should demonstrate how their system meets environmental monitoring and food safety testing standards.
