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 expiry of 10 calendar days and has awarded a contract to Markes International Analytical Limited.

Procurement Information
VEAT notice was issued and full 10 calendar days was observed prior to award. Absence for technical reasons due to the patents and requirement to have the five key features of the instrument which are 1) the immersive HiSorb sampling method, 2) robotic automation of sampling with detachment of HiSorb probes for 'stacking' extracts, 3) sample recollection onto thermal desorption (TD) tubes, 4) Tandem Ionisation (TI) of samples in the mass spectrometer, and 5) fully integrated software for instrument operation (including flow modulation) and data analysis.
