Acquisition of a new gas flow proportional counter to replace two 21-year-old counters from Rijkswaterstaat. The new device must combine two counters, with comparable detection limits and suitable for the accredited analysis of total alpha and total beta in various sample matrices (fresh water, seawater, sediment, suspended matter, biota). Expected throughput is ~1,000 samples per year, with an emergency capacity of 100 samples per week.

01What is being requested

Acquisition of a new gas flow proportional counter to replace two 21-year-old counters from Rijkswaterstaat. The new device must combine two counters, with comparable detection limits and suitable for the accredited analysis of total alpha and total beta in various sample matrices (fresh water, seawater, sediment, suspended matter, biota). Expected throughput is ~1,000 samples per year, with an emergency capacity of 100 samples per week.

Reason and background of the procurement requirement: n At Rijkswaterstaat, replacement is necessary for two gas flow proportional counters which are now 21 years old and for which technical support is no longer possible, because the supplier has ceased production and support. The two gas flow counters will be replaced by one device that includes two counters. n RWS currently has four instruments, of which we will initially replace two to ensure continuity. A different instrument is used per type of matrix to prevent cross-contamination. n A gas flow proportional counter is a measuring i

06Frequently asked questions

What is the purpose of this assignment?

The assignment concerns the purchase of a new gas flow proportional counter. This device must replace two existing counters from Rijkswaterstaat that are 21 years old and for which technical support has ceased.

What technical specifications must the new instrument meet?

The new device must combine two counters and be technically comparable to the current instruments. It must be suitable for the accredited analysis of total alpha and total beta in matrices such as fresh water, seawater, sediment, suspended matter, and biota.

What is the expected analysis capacity of the counter?

The expected throughput is approximately 1,000 samples per year. Additionally, the system must have an emergency capacity to measure at least 100 samples per week in the event of calamities.

What measuring functions does a gas flow proportional counter offer?

The instrument detects and measures ionizing radiation from alpha and/or beta emitting radionuclides. The results are displayed as the sum of the radioactivity concentrations of total alpha and total beta.
