Description
NASA/GSFC has a requirement for a Mass Spectrometer Detector (MSD) with Elcapabilities. The requirements are as follows: a.) Mass Spectrometer detector (MSD) with EI capabilitiesb.) MSD acquisition and analysis software must be includedc.) Sensitivity of the MSD must meet signal to noise ratio of at least 400:1 for 1uLinjection of 1pg/uL OFN 50-300u scanning for m/z 272 and have trace RT repeatability of<0.0012 min and area repeatability of <2.0% RSDd.) Scan speeds of at least 10,000 amu/sec.e.) Select ion monitoring (SIM) capabilities of 100 groups of 60 ions.f.)Scanning mass range of at least 1.6 to 1050 Da (amu)NASA/GSFC intends to purchase the items from Gerstel Inc., pursuant to FAR 13.106, forthe acquisition of supplies or services determined to be reasonably available from onlyone source. Gerstel Inc., can provide a Mass Spectrometer to replace a current one thatno longer suits our needs.
