Item #1 HPLC/Tandem Mass Spectrometer System System Shall Have The Following Requirements: - System shall be a commercially available unit that is an integrated package, enabling all components to be controlled via one computer software package. - The mass spectrometer ion source shall have interchangeable atmospheric pressure chemical ionization and electrospray probes. - The source shall have an HPLC flow rate compatability of up to 3000 ul/min, operating in either the APCI or ESI mode and should be compatible with 100% aqueous to 100% organic flow. - The mass spectrometer shall have ion guides or pre-filters at the appropriate position to help focus the ions. The first mass RF quadrupole is followed by a collision cell for high efficiency MS/MS fragmentation, followed by a second mass analyzer, which should be a quadrupole mass filter or linear ion trap. - The interface between the HPLC and mass spectrometer shall have a curtain gas barrier to help maintain mass analyzer cleanliness and optimize ion declustering, enabling the analysis of complex matrices, such as urine and plasma over long periods of time. - The Data System shall be Windows operating system-based and capable of multi-tasking, such as simultaneous data acquisition and data processing. - The mass spectrometer shall be capable of rapid scanning (such as up to 4000 amu/sec in linear ion trap mode and 2400 amu/sec in RF/DC mode) and have a mass range of up to 1700 m/z. The instrument shall be able to switch between positive and negative ion mode. - The system shall be capable of traditional RF/DC scan modes. The following scanning capabilities are also desired: enhanced resolution mass scanning, enhanced MS/MS and MS/MS/MS scanning, as well as information dependent acquisitions within a single LC/MS or LC/MS/MS run. - The system shall be capable of performing product ion scanning, precursor ion and neutral loss scanning, for structural elucidation work. - The HPLC systems shall be capable of delivering a constant flow and pressure to ensure stable HPLC/MS/MS analysis. The nominal range of flow settings shall be up to 5 ml/min (40 MPa) or greater at an accuracy of 1% or better. - The HPLC system (two pumps) shall be capable of delivering a gradient profile, with step, linear and exponential functions. - The Autosampler shall have sample cooling capabilities. - The Autosampler shall accommodate standard sample vial configurations. - The Autosampler shall have sample injection repeatability of RSD <0.5% for a 10ul injection. The carryover should be less than 0.01%. - The column oven shall be capable of maintaining a temperature range of -10 degrees or +60 degrees from ambient. - The degasser unit shall be capable of removing dissolved gases in mobile phases. - On-site installation and basic training shall be included. - Shipping costs shall be included in quote.
