A -- LAWRENCE LIVERMORE NATIONAL LABORATORY (LLNL) SEEKING INDUSTRIAL PARTNERS TO DEVELOP PORTABLE GAS CHROMATOGRAPH-MASS SPECTROMETER SYSTEM (GC-MS) SOL CBD99-002 DUE 122498 POC n/a LAWRENCE LIVERMORE NATIONAL LABORATORY (LLNL) SEEKING INDUSTRIAL PARTNERS TO DEVELOP PORTABLE GAS CHROMATOGRAPH-MASS SPECTROMETER SYSTEM (GC-MS) This is not procurement. LLNL funding is not available to fund any corporate effort. Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL), operated by the University of California under the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), is seeking one or more industrial partners to commercialize technology for manufacturing a 55-lb, man-portable, field-deployable gas chromatograph-mass spectrometer (GC-MS) for on-site analysis of unknown chemicals in environmental, industrial, civilian, or military scenarios. The system is preferably integrated to the HP 5973 quadruple mass selective detector (MSD) and HP e-module box. One customized carrying case will house the entire GC-MS system, of which all components therein will be modular and accessible for ease of serviceability. The hand-portable GC-MS has many worldwide applications to forensics, as well as for chemical weapons monitoring, HAZMAT, EPA, military (i.e., high explosive and propellant analysis), FDA, FBI, DEA, international treaty verification, Cal-Trans, Cal OSHA, universities and private enterprise. The partnership will be coordinated through the LLNL Industrial Partnerships and Commercialization Office using a Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA). Interested companies must respond in writing to LLNL within thirty days of this announcement by providing the following information: (1) the name and address of your organization and the name, address, telephone and facsimile numbers of the point of contact; (2) the type of business, product and financial history of your company; (3) a description of your company's expertise and facilities in the area of manufacture of mass spectrometry; (4) corporate history of R&D funding; (5) the financial resources your company would commit to this collaborative project. Please respond in writing to Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, Industrial Partnerships and Commercialization. Attn: CBD99-002, P.O. Box 808, L-795, Livermore, CA 94551.
