High-Performance Liquid Chromatograph-Mass Spectrometer (HPLC-MS)

Description: High Performance Liquid Chromatograph-Mass Spectrometer: The contractor shall provide the following: 1. Installation must be included, and installation must be performed by the original equipment manufacturer (OEM). System components must be from the same manufacturer, but for the printer, monitor, and computer. All components must be serviced by the OEM. This must be a component system. The components of this system must communicate using a controller area network (CAN) and maintain compatibility with the same Agilent software provided. The MS must be a triple quadrupole, a type of MS needed for high-sensitivity, quantitative analysis. The first quadrupole acts as a mass filter, the second serves as a collision cell for fragmenting ions, and the third filters the resulting fragments. The MS must have two modes of operation, Electrospray Ionization (ESI) and Atmospheric Pressure Chemical Ionization (APCI). A multimode source will allow both modes to be used. This mass spectrum analyzer must have a fixed nebulizer, so adjustments are not required for matrices or solvents. This nebulizer must be orthogonal to the ion sources to allow for maximum versatility of mobile phases and flow rates without the use of a flow splitter. The MS must have an autotune feature, operate at 110v, and have a range of at least 2 to 3000 atomic mass units (AMU). See attached file.
