Opportunity overview

The Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew ('RBG Kew') does not currently have the ability to perform total carbon and nitrogen analysis in house. Recently, research at Kew has moved into areas where there is increasing demand for such measurements from soil, peat, plant and fungal samples. RBG Kew is therefore seeking to acquire a base elemental analysis system capable of at least total carbon and total and nitrogen (CN) measurement by combustion analysis to meet current needs. For future-proofing, this base system should also be capable of sulphur and hydrogen analyses and preferably be upgradable in the future to measure oxygen, total organic carbon and total inorganic carbon.
