The University of Waterloo-Environmental Isotope Laboratory (UW-EIL), a research group within the Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences, develops and applies isotope technology to the Environment.
Founded in 1971 by Dr. Peter Fritz, the UW-EIL offers analysis for the isotopes of a number of elements including hydrogen (δ2H, 3H), carbon (δ13C, 14C), nitrogen (δ15N), oxygen (δ18O), sulphur (δ34S), chlorine (δ37Cl), bromine (δ81Br) and strontium (87Sr/86Sr) for a wide variety of applications. UW-EIL is today an innovative modern research facility with an international client base encompassing universities, government agencies, consulting firms and other institutions.
We seek to increase our capability for performing hydrogen and oxygen isotopes in water by obtaining a Laser Water Isotope Analyzer capable of sequentially measuring 2H, 17O, and 18O in liquid water from standard 12x32mm 2ml septum vials. System must include an autosampler for a minimum of 100 samples and control system for fully automated analysis. Optional spares and accessories to be included in pricing but will not necessarily be purchased at this time.
The budget is $120,000 CAD, plus HST.
