UV-Vis Spectrometer System

Procurement Summary

The National Institute of Standards and Technology, Material Measurement Laboratory Chemical Sciences Division (CSD) is involved in the Innovations in Measurement Science (IMS) Project seeking to deliver a testbed for heterogeneous catalysts based on emerging X-ray characterization methods as a key component of the IMS. The IMS projects are competitively chosen for their potential for high impact on a scientific, engineering, and/or technological challenge that benefits society. They impact stakeholders at NIST, industry, commercial labs, other federal agencies, or academia. These capabilities are being commissioned at NIST’s X-ray facilities at the National Synchrotron Light Source II and involve the integration of a NIST-built detector to enable a first-of-kind measurement approach. In support of these efforts, the CSD will need to procure a UV-Vis spectrometer to perform technique intercomparison studies between a well-established tool (UV-Vis) and the measurement capabilities under development. The UV-Vis spectrometer will play a key role in the project by probing d-electron chemistry and screening samples prior to measurement at the X-ray facility.
