LEE679C - UCD RFT - SQMS, QTOF, Maldi IMS

Tenders are sought for the supply delivery, installation of : Single Quadrupole Mass Spectrometry System (Lot 1) - a nominal mass capable LCMS-type mass spectrometry system or systems, of single quad type or better, to be used in 'walkup' or skilled operator modes, be provided; with ancilliary equipment for sample introduction and data processing and all necessary software and licences, preconfiguration, applications support and training. QTOF Instrument Systems (Lot 2) - an accurate mass detection capable LCMS-type mass spectrometry system, of ToF type or better, be provided; to have at least MS/MS capability, to be used in 'walkup' or skilled operator modes and be provided with ancillary equipment for sample introduction and data processing and all necessary software and licences, preconfiguration, applications support and training. MALDI Imaging Mass Spectrometry System (Lot 3) - capable of peptide/protein identification and of imaging. For all instruments, the principal priorities for UCD is that they are robust and capable of walkup operation – they will be required to analyse a wide range of chemical moieties ranging from synthetic to biological origin, and will need to accommodate a spectrum of skill levels of user, and therefore require a comprehensive and top-level automation and unattended reporting capability through automation software linked with discovery modules and databases (which would need to be included at commissioning). Initial configuration is therefore very important, and good applications support would be critical at the commissioning stage and next 2 years minimum. Also, availability of concurrent seats for processing/reprocessing of data is critical, as are licences for software modules (especially specialist ones such as quantitation or proteomics). Following this, we would be looking at having a comprehensive service agreement which can deliver full support and parts through to year 6 end inclusive from commissioning date. We would also need to have visibility on availability
