Description

Correction: This action originally publicized in the CBD dated 4/27/2001 and 5/8/2001 is changed as follows: The correct title of the project should read Purchase of a Hybrid Quadrupole Time-of-Flight Tandem Mass Spectrometer with MALDI Source(s)"; Change Specification 3 to "Primary ionization source-matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization. Change Specification 4 to "Alternative ionization source-combination of ESI/MALDI. Delete Specification 5 (Routine negative ion capabilities under data system control). Delete Specification 11 (Integrated biological application software package). Change Specification 17(Optional Line Items) a) to read "ESI/nanospray source(s)". In the Evaluation Criteria: a) change criteria 1 to read: The performance of the instrument will be evaluated using MALDI conditions as follows (exact procedures e.g., solvents, etc., to use will accompany samples); b) change criteria 3 to add: "A serial dilution of a standard peptide mixture will be provided. c) Add the following evaluation criteria: 2.
