06Frequently asked questions

What is the purpose of the purchase of the new GC-MS systems?

The new systems serve to replace the current gas chromatographic systems that have been in use for 10 years. This is necessary to ensure the continuity and reliability of analyses and to meet the increasing demand for lower reporting limits and the analysis of more difficult-to-analyze components.

What exactly is delivered within the scope of the contract?

The contract includes the delivery of a GC-MS system, including the associated consumables and both preventive and corrective maintenance.

Which ionization techniques are requested?

Different techniques are requested for the various lots: in one case, both EI and APCI are of interest for the analysis of plant protection products, while in the other case, only an EI source is requested for target screening applications using the NIST library.

How is the quality of the systems assessed during the tender?

Part of the assessment involves performing an application test on samples sent by Aqualysis. Interested parties are requested to express their interest as soon as possible so that the samples can be sent in a timely manner.

On which criteria is the award based?

The contract will be awarded based on the most economically advantageous tender with the best price-quality ratio.
