This opportunity involves the procurement of a chromatography system for the University of British Columbia, designed for advanced laboratory applications. - Government Buyer: - University of British Columbia (UBC) - Products/Services Requested: - Flash and Preparative Chromatography System - Must integrate preparative-scale high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and automated flash chromatography - Capable of preparative-scale HPLC up to 2 grams - Automated flash chromatography functionality - Ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) detection covering at least 300-800 nm - Automated injection and fraction collection - Pressure limit up to 400 bar in HPLC mode - Normal-phase chromatography supported in both modes - OEMs and Vendors: - No specific OEMs or vendors are named in the solicitation - Unique or Notable Requirements: - System must combine both preparative HPLC and flash chromatography in a single unit - Must support normal-phase chromatography in both operational modes - High-pressure operation (up to 400 bar) required for HPLC mode - Automated features for injection and fraction collection - Classification: - Scientific instruments and goods
Description
This RFP seeks to obtain a chromatography system capable of both preparative-scale (up to 2 g) high-performance liquid chromatography, as well as automated flash chromatography. The system should be capable of ultraviolet-visible detection from at least 300-800 nm, automated injection and fraction collection, and a pressure limit up to 400 bar in HPLC mode. The successful proposal will integrate both flash and preparative chromatography into a single system. Normal-phase chromatography (polar stationary phase with nonpolar mobile phases) will be used in both modes.
