## Summary

The procurement process for the supply of the IQ-X Tribrid LC-MS is now complete. The buying organisation is Education, located at Charles Stewart House, Edinburgh, UK. The procurement stage was an award made directly to Fisher Scientific for a value of £305,069.95 awarded on 20th March 2024.

This tender for IQ-X Tribrid LC-MS, handled under an APUC framework agreement, can create growth opportunities for suppliers of analytical instrumentation. Businesses specialising in high-resolution mass spectrometry equipment with capabilities for structural characterisation and real-time database searching would be well-suited to compete in this procurement process.

## Notice

The Roslin Institute, University of Edinburgh is seeking to expand on our metabolomics analysis capabilities with LC-MS instrumentation enabling MSn capabilities for structural characterisation of unknown small molecules and lipids. To facilitate detection of maximum analytes per run distinguishing as many isobaric compounds, a high-resolution (>300, 000 FWHM) MS system with real-time database searching capabilities is sought for automated data acquisition to enhance the profiling efficiency by auto selection of inclusion and exclusion list are required. Currently the only LC-MS instrument that support all these capabilities is Thermo Orbitrap IQ-X Tribrid Mass Spectrometer.
