Description

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) intends to purchase six Dioxin Power-Prep Sample Cleanup Systems/P6 as manufactured by Fluid Management Systems. CDC believes that its requirements can only be met by this provider, however all responsible sources that can meet the requirements listed herein may submit a quote which will be considered by the agency. Description of the requirements are a rapid method of analysis for dioxins, furans, coplanar PCBs, PCBs and persistent pesticides in human serum. Increase sample throughput of archived samples pending dioxin and PCB/persistent pesticide quantification by high resolution isotope-dilution mass spectrometry at ultra-trace levels. The system must be capable of performing sample clean-up and analyte enrichment on six serum sample extracts in parallel (or simultaneously) and collect multiple chromatographic fractions on each of the six samples in approximately one hour. The analyst can selectively program each chromatographic step in the automated sample preparation procedure using the FMS Windows based software. The system can handle up to five different solvents and up to three different chromatography columns. The software must control each of the six independent chromatography modules and is used to calibrate the flow-rate of the six solvent pumps, select different flow-rates at various steps during the procedure, and to reverse the flow of solvent required by CDC method to collect the dioxin fraction. All components that come into contact with solvents (including all tubing and valve seats) are made of Teflon or similar solvent resistant material. The system can perform clean-up on a wide range of serum sample sizes (0.5 ml to 50 ml) without changing column sizes.
