The focus of this requisition is to acquire a new WD-XRF spectrometer that will allow the program continuity to support the FDA?s mission-critical Color Certification Program. The new XRF spectrometer will be used for high throughput sample determinations of elemental impurities in certifiable color additives to support the certification (or rejection) of certifiable color additives as required under 21 CFR Part 74. Additionally, the instrument will be used for research in developing new methods for the Color Certification Program, and for the analysis of regulatory samples of unknown elemental composition. We are requesting a new WDXRF instrumentation with guaranteed service support that can provide timely maintenance and repairs.
