Germany – Mass spectrometer – Lieferung eines hochauflösenden, massenselektiven Detektors mit MS/MS-Funktion (QTOF) und HPLC

A new high-performance liquid chromatography system with a high-resolution mass spectrometer and a quadrupole mass filter (HPLC-HRMS/MS) and electrospray ionization is to be procured for the Federal Institute of Hydrology (BfG). The system is used for the analytical separation and detection of polar organic pollutants in extracts from water and solid samples in the trace analytical range. It must be possible to perform tandem mass spectrometry experiments up to at least MS2. The generated MS/MS spectra must be comparable to at least 95% with the mass spectrometers installed at the BfG (Sciex TT 5600, Sciex TT 6600, Sciex 6500+ Qtrap, Thermo Orbitrap Exploris 240, Thermo Orbitrap QExactive HF, Agilent 6550). This is for the establishment of a non-target MS database. BfG spectra can be viewed at https://zenodo.org/records/20426911. The mass spectrometer must be operated without liquid cryogens.
