Section IV: Procedure

IV.1) Description

IV.1.1) Type of procedure

Negotiated procedure without prior publication

The works, supplies or services can be provided only by a particular economic operator for the following reason:
- absence of competition for technical reasons

Explanation:

The new Astral instrument is a novel MS system with unique characteristics tailored to excel in a broad range of proteomics experiments. No other provider offers similar equipment capable of High-Resolution, Accurate-Mass (HRAM) measurements of comparable high sensitivity, speed, and dynamic range in LC-MS/MS experiment.

The increased performance is due to a novel hardware architecture combining high-selectivity quadrupole mass filter, Orbitrap technology and the novel Astral technology. In this unique configuration, the Orbitrap provides high dynamic range HRAM full MS scans, the quadrupole mass filter allows for efficient precursor selection, while the new Astral analyzer provides fast (up to 200 Hz) and sensitive high dynamic range HRAM MS/MS scans.

Elevating HRAM measurements' sensitivity, speed, and dynamic range is crucial for PRI's proteomics services, especially as they prepare to analyze large clinical sample cohorts. The precision required for comprehensive analysis aligns with the imminent challenge of measuring significant sample sets, underscoring the necessity for advanced HRAM capabilities.

The equipment provides full integration into existing work routines, as it adds on to PRI’s existing Orbitrap mass spectrometers. A change of supplier will therefore require changes to integrated software systems, which would be very resource intensive.
