Description

The instrument must provide 480,000 mass resolving power, < 1ppm mass accuracy, a dynamic range of > 5000:1, scan rates up to 40 Hz and rapid polarity switching < 1 second per cycle. It must be supplied with an electrospray ion source.

Total Quantity or Scope

Our large-scale instrument development mass spectrometry imaging (MSI) studies require high mass accuracy (<1 ppm), high mass resolving power (> 400,000) and the ability to couple to a range of third party and home-built atmospheric pressure developmental ion sources. These home-built ion sources were developed for coupling to a Thermo Orbitrap Elite instrument. This package must also have a small footprint, preferably benchtop, profile to fit into our laboratory space. Currently, of commercially available MSI instruments, the Thermo Orbitrap Exploris 480 is the only instrument to fulfil these requirements completely.

CPV Codes

• 38000000 - Laboratory, optical and precision equipments (excl. glasses)

Legal Justification

The Thermo Orbitrap Exploris 480 is the only commercially available mass spectrometry instrument providing the following required combination of characteristics: • Scan rates up to 40 Hz • Benchtop, small footprint instrument. • Compatibility with third party MALDI MSI and LESA ion sources and our existing home-built atmospheric pressure ion sources. • The mass spectrometer is a high-resolution FT system. • Achievable mass resolution must be greater than 400,000 FWHM at m/z 200 for all scan modes and both polarities. A copy of the Regulatory Compliance documentation (CE or UKCA Declaration of Conformity) certificate must be provided with the instrument, which will be reviewing by NPL’s regulatory compliance expert upon receipt.
