II.1.1) Title: Adsorption Analysis Equipment
II.1.2) Main CPV code: 38430000
II.1.3) Type of contract: Supplies
II.1.4) Short Description: As part of the Dstl adsorbent material analysis capability, there is a requirement to acquire new analytical equipment. This desired expansion includes two pieces of equipment:
• A Microscale Breakthrough Analyser
o A piece of equipment capable of analysing breakthrough of hazardous vapours against adsorbent materials, and monitor the effluent concentrations of Hazards.
o This testing is a key part in the understanding of adsorbent properties of materials against Chemical warfare agents and Toxic industrial chemicals.
o As such, it supports and expands upon the micro-scale analysis capability.
• A Dynamic Vapour Sorption Unit (DVS)
o A piece of equipment designed to analyse adsorbent materials, determining their gravometric properties during exposure to contaminated airstreams.
