The system is used for the detection and analysis of volatile organic compounds. The tender period ends on September 29th, 2022, with a contract period starting on September 30th, 2022, and ending on December 25th, 2022. The delivery addresses for this procurement are in the South East region of the United Kingdom with a postal code of RG6 6AP. This procurement presents an opportunity for businesses involved in the goods sector, particularly those specializing in detection and analysis apparatus. Companies interested in providing equipment like the Centri GCxGC-TOF-MS system and related services would be well-suited to compete in this tender. The University of Reading is the buying organization, and this tender is currently in the active stage, offering a chance for eligible businesses to participate in the procurement process. ## Notice 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.
