Requirement

Environment Canada's Quebec Laboratory for Environmental Testing
(QLET) wants to acquire a gas chromatograph coupled to a high
resolution, sector type, mass spectrometer in order to conduct
quantitative analysis of a large variety of trace and
ultra-trace organic contaminants in environmental samples.

This instrument will be used as an analysis tool for research
and monitoring projects. Targeted compounds are present in the
environment at extremely low levels and are often present with
very similar co-extractants and at much higher concentrations
(for example, dioxins and furans, PolyBromoDiphenylEthers,
OrganoChlorinated Pesticides, etc.). Acquisition of such an
instrument by QLET will permit the Department to fill in its
mandate related to different programs, such as the Monitoring
and Surveillance of Fresh Water and Sediments and for Research
projects.
