Mass spectrometer

Tender description

Northumbria University requires a mass spectrometer for the purpose of a new research project. The mass spectrometer should have a Quadrupole-Orbitrap configuration and deliver high resolution and accurate masses at all modes of operation. It must be capable of performing one full cycle in < 1,1 sec and be able to obtain > 240 000 resolution at m/z 200 in full scan mode. It must be capable of performing CID and HCD at any MSn stage with fragment ion detection in either Ion trap or Orbitrap and mass accuracy to < 3 ppm RMS, with external calibration over 24 h and without any kind of mass recalibration and < 1 ppm RMS, with internal calibration. It must have an advanced active beam guide or equivalent that prevents neutrals and unwanted ions entering the quadrupole and an ion transfer tube that must be removable without breaking vacuum. It must be provided with an associated high performance liquid chromatography system and come with 3 year warranty.
