    Accomplishments

    The Laboratory is currently working through the procurement process in order to purchase one (1) GC-FID-MS instrument that will be used for BAC examinations, and one (1) GC-FID instrument that will be used as a backup for the new GC-FID-MS.  The long term plan is to secure funding to be able to add a MS component to the GC-FID so that we will have two identical instruments that can be used for BAC analyses.  Because our current BAC instrument is broken, we are outsourcing all of our BAC cases.  It is our long term goal to have a redundant system in place so that if we experience an instrument failure, we will not be forced to outsource cases.   We are also currently working through the procurement process in order to purchase three (3) Hydrogen Generators in order to supply Hydrogen (carrier gas) to our analytical instruments.
