LA3685C - CFT - FSI - Supply, Delivery, Installation, and Commissioning of a Benchtop Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) Spectrometer
Education Procurement Service (EPS)
Forensic Science Ireland request the supply of a Benchtop Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) Spectrometer with a compatible autosampler system. It is envisioned that this NMR system will be used to quantify many common analytes submitted to a volume drugs analysis lab, such as MDMA, amphetamine, methylamphetamine, and ketamine. The system will be utilised for rapid isomer identification to replace current Thin Layer Chromatography (TLC) methods. The NMR spectrometer will also be used for full molecule structural elucidation, where samples are infrequently encountered, and for the general analysis of chemical unknown exhibits that are submitted to the laboratory. The analytical data generated from this spectrometer will be used to prepare casefiles for presentation to the courts for legal proceedings in Ireland.
