UV-VIS Spectrophotometer

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is seeking a UV-VIS Spectrophotometer to support the Medical Products Labs Strategic Operations. The spectrophotometer should meet specific technical requirements, including a wavelength range of 190-1,100 nm, a wavelength accuracy of ± 0.5 nm, and a photometric accuracy of ± 0.005 A. The system should also include a personal computer with a Windows 10 or 11 Operating System, a minimum 3.1 GHz Quad core processor, and 32 GB RAM. The contractor shall provide installation, training, and a 12-month warranty period. • The UV-VIS Spectrophotometer should be a bench-top system that can occupy a maximum bench space of 20 x 20 x 16 inches (HxWxD). • The system should utilize a xenon flash lamp and a Charge-Coupled Device (CCD) array detector. • The system should have a cuvette holder that can hold 1 cm flow cells and cuvettes. • The system should have a resolution greater than 1.9 for toluene in hexane. • The system should have a Noise and Baseline Flatness less than 0.002 A. • The system should be able to record full range spectra and individual wavelengths simultaneously. • The system should be able to record direct measurements and programmable methods. • The system should have sufficient connection ports to support bi-directional communications with a stand-alone personal computer.
