Specifications include, but are not limited to: Single-Quadrupole Mass Spectrometer - The mass spectrometer must demonstrate the following performance specifications at installation: EI scan sensitivity S/N ≥ 2,000:1 1 pg OFN, m/z 272; EI SIM instrument detection limit IDL ≤ 10 fg 100 fg OFN, m/z 272; PCI MRM sensitivity1 S/N ≥ 1200:1 100 fg BZP, m/z 183 NCI; SIM sensitivity1 S/N ≥ 1000:1 100 fg OFN, m/z 272; MS Mainframe: The mass spectrometer must be capable of scanning at 20,000 amu/second (single scan) with 0.1 amu step resolution, to obtain classic, library-searchable mass spectra for narrow, fast-eluting peaks. The mass spectrometer must include a patented Advanced Scanning Speed Protocol (ASSP) function that retains sensitivity (prevents sensitivity loss) at high scan speeds of 10,000 amu/second or faster. The mass spectrometer must be capable of scan cycles up to 333 scans/second to obtain highly precise data for GCMS and comprehensive GC & CG Applications. The mass spectrometer must have a mass axis stability of ±0.1 amu over 48 hours (constant temperature). The mass spectrometer must be capable of acquiring 64 SIM channels per group, and 128 groups per method. The mass spectrometer must have a minimum dwell time of < 0.5 msec. The mass spectrometer must have a mass range of 1.5 to 1090 amu with unit mass resolution over the entire mass range.
