65 -- CAPILLARY HIGH PERFORMANCE LIQUID CHROMATOGRAPH (HPLC) DUE 062300 POC Danny O. Freeman, Contracting Officer, (440) 838-6091 The Louis Stokes Cleveland VA Medical Center is seeking sources that can provide a Magic 2002 HPLC Unit (stk #602/00000/00)(qty 1 ea), for sensitive detection of very small quantities of sample materials for qualitative characterization experiments. This system includes a capillary flow range kit (stk #602/33004/02)(qty 1 ea); Magic temperature control autosampler (stk #101/00002/00)(qty 1 ea); Magic HPLC Xcalibur Control System (stk #602/20007/00)(qty 1 ea); 718A/S 96 Well Autosampler tray (stk #101/25003/00)(qty 1 ea); 0.2x150 mm VYDAC C18 MS Column 5u 300A (stk #902/31261/00)(qty 1 ea); Small Molecule Captrap 6 PK (stk #004/25109/31)(qty 1 ea); Peptide Captrap, 6 PK (stk #004/25109/32)(qty 1 ea); Protein Captrap (stk #004/25108/33)(qty 2 ea); Manual Captrap Holder Kit (stk #602/25029/03)(qty 1 ea); Manual Micro Trap Holder Kit (stk #004/25111/01)(qty 1 ea); Valco Micro/Macro Trap Loop Holder (stk #004/25110/00)(qty 1 ea); SDS Removal Microtrap (stk #004/25108/04)(qty 3 ea); Nid Removal Microtrap (stk #004/25108/07)(qty 1 ea); Small Molecule Micro Trap (stk #004/25108/01)(qty 3 ea); Peptide Microtrap (stk #004/25108/02)(qty 3 ea); 10-32 Male/Male Union (stk #004/25086/00)(qty 1 ea). VA requires a Capillary High Performance Liquid Chromatograph (HPLC) which is compatible for use with a Finnigan LCQ Decca quadrupole ion trap mass spectrometer. The mass spectrometer and the Capillary HPLC together constitute on instrument system. Systems of equal must meet the following design criteria: The Capillary HPLC machine must be capable of performing reproducible gradient separations at flow rates equal to or less than one microliter per minute. The capillary HPLC machine must be controlled by the ion trap mass spectrometer's control software. This is a request for product information and sources only! This is not a request for proposal (RFP). The VA does not intend to pay for information received. Requests for copies of a solicitation shall not be honored or acknowledged. Information should be forwarded to the Contracting Officer by June 23, 2000. VA shall review all information to determine the availability of similar available capillary HPLC systems. Systems must meet the above criteria and be compatible to the VA owned systems mentioned herein. Should you have questions, you may contact the Contracting Officer at the number provided.
