Notice Information
Notice Title
Purchase of Bruker Mass Spectral Libraries
Notice Description
Mass spectral libraries are required to enhance the accuracy, confidence, and defensibility of chemical identification across NRWAS's targeted and non-targeted LC-MS/MS workflows. They support statutory duties under the WFD, EQSD, Watch List and incident response by enabling robust identification of pollutants, emerging contaminants, and transformation products. The libraries also improve operational efficiency by reducing analyst time through automated, reliable matching, while vendor-validated reference spectra future-proof analytical capability, minimise lifecycle costs, and ensure results withstand regulatory, scientific, and public scrutiny. These mass spectral libraries are proprietary and exclusively supplied by Bruker, with no alternative source. They are purpose-built to operate within Bruker's software and instrument platforms, providing the validated compatibility required for accurate spectral matching and dependable analytical performance.
