## Description

We were looking to order one Gas chromatography Analyzer for Blood Alcohol Concentration with inlet splitter and dual FIDs, as well as a headspace sampler\. The full breakdown is as follows: Gas Chromatograph for the analysis of blood alcohol with >50 positions sample tray, headspace and development to run hydrogen carrier and nitrogen extraction gas\. We would require this to come with a minimum of two years warranty\. Hydrogen generator Compressor Zero Air N2 Generator The system must have a proven and validated Forensic application method for the performance of fast blood alcohol content \(BAC\) analysis\. That is able to deliver accurate and reproducible data that will stand up in a court of law\. It must also be able to analyse methanol \(detection limit 50 mg/L\), ethanol \(detection limit 100 mg/L\) acetone and isopropanol in clinical and post mortem samples\. We will require this to be delivered no later than Mid January 2024, however the earlier the better\.
