- Description
- USDA GIPSA FGIS Technical Services Division is requesting manufactures capable of providing a "Name Brand or Equal" to Waters Corporation, Waters Acquity Ultra-Performance Liquid Chromatograph/TQD, product #176850019. Proposed alternate or equal must integrate 100% with existing installed and validated equipment, and listed methods as follows: The new system must be fully compatible with the following instrumentation and software that exists in the laboratory in order to ensure integration with full functionality and eliminate the need for additional government resources associated with conversion of analytical methods and training of personnel: o Waters Acquity Solvent Manager o Waters Acquity Sample Manager o Waters Acquity Photodiode Array Detector (PDA) o Waters Acquity Fluorescence Detector (FLR) o Empower 2 and MassLynx Software A method for the analysis of aflatoxins in corn has been validated using an existing Waters UPLC system. The proposed UHPLC / tandem mass spectrometry system must be capable of providing separation of all four aflatoxin isomers in a corn extract in less than 3 minutes and include the capability of full functionality with an existing Waters fluorescence detector to achieve on-column detection limits 45, 14, 90, and 18 femtograms of aflatoxin B1, B2, G1, and G2, respectively. A method for the analysis of 17 amino acids in soybeans and corn has been validated using an existing Waters UPLC system. The proposed system must be capable of separating all 17 amino acids plus norvaline using the Waters Accutag Ultra technology in 8 minutes. Interested manufactures should send a statement of capabilities via email to Leigh Eberhart at Leigh.D.Eberhart@aphis.usda.gov
