Notice Information

Notice Title

Centri GCxGC-TOF-MS system

Notice Description

For the purchase of Centri GCxGC-TOF-MS system for the discovery, profiling, and screening of volatile organic compounds. This equipment has been selected for the ability to allow automated HiSorb immersive extraction. Samples can be stacked and run in sequence, with detachment of probes from the robot arm allowing for the next sample extraction to begin. The robot then recollects the probe and inserts into the platform. The system allows for any injected samples to be recollected onto thermal desorption tubes, facilitating multiple analyses of the same extract. The mass spectrometer features tandem ionisation capability, which allows for generation of mass spectra profiles at two different ionisation energies simultaneously. This allows for increased confidence in compound identification and facilitates structural elucidation and isotope ratios. The entire platform is operated with ChromSpace software, allowing for integrated control of Centri automated extraction, GC injection, flow modulation, flame ionisation detection quantification, mass spectrometer operation, data processing, and statistical analysis. The University has published this Award notice, following the publication of the VEAT notice and 10 calendar days to Markes International Analytical Limited. VEAT notice: 2022/s 000-022831 Additional information: This is notification of award of contract and publication of award notice (2022/S 000-027256) following the completion of 10 full calendar days after the VEAT notice (2022/s 000-022831) was published. Is a Recurrent Procurement Type? : No
