## 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\. Additional information: Funding Type \(WEFO or EU\) : Nuclear Energy research Council \(NERC\) Is a Recurrent Procurement Type? : No
