Section II: Object
II.1) Scope of the procurement
II.1.1) Title: Bipolar Chemical Ionisation Mass Spectrometer for trace gas analysis on an aircraft

Reference number: 2023-2008-USMS-TB-PC
II.1.2) Main CPV code: 38430000
II.1.3) Type of contract: Supplies
II.1.4) Short Description: The Centre for Atmospheric Science requires a fast switching bipolar chemical ionisation mass spectrometer to facilitate trace gas analysis on the British Atmospheric Research Aircraft (ARA) operated by the Faculty for Airborne Atmospheric Measurements (FAAM). To allow a wide range of measurements, this instrument must facilitate the operation of multiple reagent ions (up to 6 simultaneously) that can be flexibly interchanged on the aircraft and provide complete measurement cycles at time resolution sufficient to allow useful measurements on the aircraft. The instrument must be of a sufficiently small size and weight to be certified on this research aircraft.
