ICP-OES INSTRUMENT - WISHLIST

The U.S. Geological Survey intends to award a non-competitive purchase order to Horiba of Piscataway, NJ to purchase a new Inductively Coupled Plasma Optical Emission Spectrometer (ICP-OES) from Horiba to quantify geochemically essential elements in solutions, core material, and experimental samples for Energy and Minerals Resources Program-funded projects, including the Oil and Gas Waters Project within the Geology, Energy, and Minerals Science Center.

Replacement of the current Horiba Ultima Expert ICP-OES (2015 Model) with the same brand is required for data continuity and for internal Quality Management System requirements.
