Statement of Work Maintenance of Laboratory Equipment and Service: Malvern PANalytical Axios Wavelength-Dispersive x-Ray Fluorescence Spectrometer



Background:

Batch certification of color additives is a regulatory premarket enforcement function. The Color Certification Branch (CCB) evaluates physical appearance and chemically analyzes batch samples of color additives to determine whether each batch meets specifications described in 21 CFR Parts 74 and 82.



Service support for Axios Wavelength Dispersive x-ray fluorescence (Axios WD-xRF) spectrometer at the Division of Color Certification and Color Technology will end on September 13, 2025. x-ray fluorescence (xRF) spectrometry is used to analyze samples of color additives that are used in foods, drugs, cosmetics and medical devices for elements with limiting specifications listed in 21 CFR Part 74. xRF is the primary analysis used to determine levels within the range of 1 - 1000 ppm. xRF is also used for official sample analyses when elemental composition is being determined.



Description of Work:



The following is a request for the acquisition of a new service agreement for the Axios WD-xRF, which includes 48-hour on-site response time during normal business hours, unlimited labor and travel during normal business hours, and unlimited emergency calls.



Purpose:

The Axios WD-xRF instrument is used for high throughput sample determinations of specified elemental impurities in certifiable color additives to support the certification (or rejection) of color additives as required under 21 CFR Part 74. Additionally, the instrument will be used for research in developing methods for the Color Certification Program and for the analysis of regulatory samples of unknown composition.

Reliable and timely maintenance and repairs of the Axios WD-xRF is critical to the mission of the Color Certification Branch, which is to certify color additives for use in fo...
