Justification for direct award
:
The contract can be provided only by a particular economic operator because of an absence of competition for technical reasons
Other justification
:
The required specifications include: • Capability for both quantitative MRM (Multiple Reaction Monitoring) and qualitative MS/MS workflows, including MS3 and MRM3 in a single run. • MRM Acquisition Rate (MRMs per second) up to 800 MRMs/s • ESI Positive and Negative MS Sensitivity (Signal-to-Noise) above 5,000,000:1 for reserpine and chloramphenicol, respectively, at 1pg on column. • Compatibility with existing QTRAP methods in the department • Compatibility with existing bundle of multiuser licenses (Sciex OS) software for data processing in the department These specifications are essential for: • Supporting advanced environmental chemistry and toxicological research for several research projects of our department, which require high-throughput, high-accuracy quantification of emerging contaminants. • Meeting analytical performance criteria for our academic and research-advisory work, including LOD/LOQ thresholds, linearity, reproducibility typical of triple quadrupole MS systems, with the powerful scan modes of the triple quadrupole-linear ion trap: Enhanced Product Ion Scan (EPI), MRM3 Scan, MS3 Scan • Ensuring methodological continuity with existing methods developed using QTRAP hardware, and seamless continuity of data treatment methods. Sciex is the sole supplier of the QTRAP LC-MS/MS system, which is a proprietary technology not available through third-party vendors. The justification for selecting Sciex includes: • Exclusive ownership of the QTRAP technology, which uniquely combines triple quadrupole and linear ion trap capabilities. • Proven track record and past supply of our department, ensuring seamless integration and support. • No other manufacturer offers an equivalent system with the same dual functionality and software ecosystem.
