Ultra-high performance liquid chromatography (UPLC) system for a Thermo Scientific Q-Exactive (QE) to support method development for economic adulteration HFP-2025-129689
Summary
AI-generated · Aug 24, 2025Acquire a liquid chromatography system (UPLC) to serve as the front end for mass spectrometric analysis, enabling method development for economic adulteration. It will support the FDA-focused laboratories in developing comprehensive methods to detect contaminants in foods and to rapidly analyze large numbers of samples to determine contamination, for use by the Office of Laboratory Operations and Applied Science, Office of Chemistry and Toxicology, Division of Analytical Chemistry, and the Method Development Branch.
The LC system must be compatible with existing Sciex mass spectrometers and a Thermo Scientific Q-Exactive HF Orbitrap, functioning as the inlet to those MS platforms.
See attached sources sought notice. The purpose of this requirement is to purchase a liquid chromatograph (LC) system for the Office of Laboratory Operations and Applied Science (OLOAS), Office of Chemistry and Toxicology (OCT), Division of Analytical Chemistry (DAC), and Method Development Branch (MDB). This need is to develop new methods that will be applicable for the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) laboratories dedicated to food safety. This instrumentation will be used to develop comprehensive methods for the analysis of contaminants in foods and rapidly analyze many samples to determine contamination. The instruments will serve as an inlet for previously purchased Sciex mass spectrometers as well as a Thermo Scientific Q-Exactive HF Orbitrap (QE-HF).
