line 1, nutrient analyzer


definition of the requirement
fisheries and oceans canada, freshwater institute (fwi) wish to acquire one (1) high throughput continuous segmented flow nutrient analyzer for the analysis of high numbers of nutrient samples in marine waters collected during arctic oceanographic studies. The nutrient analyzer will be operated at fisheries and oceans canada (dfo) in winnipeg for marine ecosystem studies.


the nutrient analyzer will be used to determine nutrient concentrations in seawater and sea ice samples from costal and offshore arctic marine ecosystems. The instrument will provide concentration values of four nutrients: phosphate, silicate, nitrate and nitrite.


high precision, high sample throughput, and very low detection of nutrient concentrations are critical analytical requirements for our laboratory since we analyze high numbers of samples, often collected from very low nutrient seawater environments. Nutrient concentrations in our studies also encompass a wide range of values within the same region, as well as between regions. We require a nutrient analyzer providing high-precision replicable results at very low concentrations for four nutrient analyses (nitrate, nitrite, phosphate and silicate), as well as through a wide range of values. Continuous segmented flow nutrient analyzers meet the requirements for seawater analysis of nutrient samples at very low nutrient concentrations for our laboratory, and in other oceanographic institutions across canada. Similar performance of this type of instrumentation with other dfo and canadian laboratories is essential for the integration and comparison of our results with long-term data sets in our study regions and with different marine ecosystems.



criteria for assessment of the statement of capabilities (minimum essential requirements)
the nutrient analyzer must meet the following specifications and operational requirements stated below:


- the analyzer must simultaneously measure the concentrations of the following nutrients: phosphate (po4), silicate (sioh4), nitrate (no3) and nitrite (no2);
- the instrument must feature a separate channel for each type of analysis (4 channel analyzer);
- the analyzer must meet the following detection limits (all in µmol/l) for low nutrient seawater analysis purposes without matrix effects: 0.01 for phosphate, 0.006 for nitrite, 0.006 for nitrate, 0.02 for silicate;
- the analyzer must be capable of processing throughput speeds
