2D GC with Time-of-Flight Mass Spectrometer

This tender concerns the procurement of a highly sensitive, high-resolution Time-of-Flight Mass Spectrometer (ToF MS) with a very high data acquisition rate. This instrument is intended for the Organic Geochemistry department at FB5/MARUM of the University of Bremen. The ToF MS is to be coupled with a highly efficient two-dimensional Gas Chromatography (GCxGC) separation system. The GCxGC-ToF MS system will be utilized for advanced analytical applications within organic geochemistry. Key requirements include high sensitivity, high resolution, and a rapid data acquisition rate, essential for detailed molecular analysis. The system's primary function will be to provide superior separation and identification capabilities for complex organic mixtures. The University of Bremen, specifically the Faculty of Geosciences (FB5) and the Center for Marine Environmental Sciences (MARUM), is seeking a state-of-the-art analytical solution to enhance its research in organic geochemistry. This procurement aims to equip the department with cutting-edge technology for precise and comprehensive chemical analysis, likely supporting research in areas such as paleo-environmental reconstruction, biomarker analysis, and the study of organic matter in marine and terrestrial systems. The successful bidder will be expected to supply a fully integrated and operational GCxGC-ToF MS system, meeting the specified performance criteria.
