Flash and Preparative Chromatography System

The contract seeks proposals for a chromatography system that combines both preparative-scale high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with a capacity of up to 2 grams, and automated flash chromatography, integrated into a single unit. The system must support ultraviolet-visible detection ranging from 300 to 800 nm, allow automated sample injection and fraction collection, and withstand pressures up to 400 bar during HPLC operation. The intended chromatography method involves normal-phase chromatography, utilizing a polar stationary phase with nonpolar mobile phases in both flash and preparative modes. Issued by the University of British Columbia under the Government of Canada, this solicitation was posted on April 20, 2026, with proposals due by May 18, 2026. Interested vendors are required to submit their proposals through the Bonfire platform, referencing solicitation number BC2026010004. The contracting authority for this procurement is Steven Berger, who serves as the primary point of contact. The contract aims to procure cutting-edge chromatography equipment to enhance analytical and preparative capabilities within the institution.
