The purpose of this notice is to identify companies capable and qualified of providing a Fluid Mass Spectrometer with the below specifications. The specifications are as follows: - Has a container (50-100mL) that can accommodate a silicone wristband during the supercritical fluid extraction process. The resulting extract is that automatically analyzed by supercritical fluid liquid chromatography combined with a triple quad mass spectrometer for high resolution detection and quantification. - The unit configured in this manner is capable of analyzing for a wide variety of semi-volatile and non-volatile compounds. Examples would be polyaromatic hydrocarbons (combustion products); phthalates (plasticizers)/ pesticides and herbicides. The system must have significant versatility since multiple classes of organic compounds will be collected and then analyzed from the wristbands. - The system must also have the requisite software to run the equipment and to process the resulting data - Must have combined Supercritical fluid extraction (SFE)/ Supercritical fluid chromatography (SFC) system that can also be easily interfaced into a tandem mass spectrometer for MS/MS data collection -Target compounds must be automatically extracted by SFE and transferred to SFC-MS/MS so that no human intervention is required -The extraction and separation steps must be processed with supercritical carbon dioxide which nearly eliminates the need for harmful and expensive solvents Operating Conditions: Standard laboratory. Special requirements for carbon dioxide exhaust which will require two exhaust lines at a minimum of 50CFM (100CFM preferred).
