Notice Title

(NU/1414) The Supply and Installation of a Liquid Chromatography Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS) System with MS/MS Capability

Notice Description

Mass spectrometry-based proteomics has been extensively used in the field of cell biology and immunology, allowing the quantification of thousands of proteins as well as their modifications, localization, and dynamics for understanding cellular functions and processes on molecular level. Proteomics often provides a hypothesis-free and systems-wide characterisation of cellular or organellar proteomes. A standard proteomics workflow includes the following steps: extraction of proteins from cells or tissue, protein digestion by a protease into peptides, separation of peptides by liquid chromatography with online analysis of peptides by tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS), database-search for protein identification and software based quantification of the peptide ion intensities. We have in recent years successfully applied proteomics to a wide range of biological questions. We have analysed complex mammalian proteomes and subproteomes such as phosphoproteomes and ubiquitinomes. These subproteomes are often only available in very small sample amounts and thus we require high sensitivity for our proteomics analyses. This tender is a call-offer from Lot 5 of the APUC National Agreement for Mass Spectrometry and Chromatography Equipment (LAB1001AP) for the supply of a LC-MS system for state-of-the-art proteomics applications. The scope of this contract is for the supply, delivery and installation of equipment and as detailed in Section 3 Technical Specification. The contract includes after sales support and an option for a minimum of 48 months warrant, maintenance and servicing and all training necessary for safe and reliable operation of the system.
