Compact Benchtop Mass Spectrometer (CMS) System

The United States Air Force (USAF) is conducting market research to identify potential sources capable of providing a Compact Benchtop Mass Spectrometer (CMS) System. The system must be a research-grade compact mass spectrometer and associated accessories designed for chemical reaction monitoring, liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) integration, and educational course support. The required system must meet or exceed the Government's minimum technical requirements, including a compact, benchtop single quadrupole mass spectrometer design, dual ion sources, and a mass-to-charge (m/z) scanning range of at least m/z 10 to m/z 2,000. • Compact, benchtop single quadrupole mass spectrometer design • Dual Ion Sources: Electrospray Ionization (ESI) and Atmospheric Pressure Chemical Ionization (APCI) • Mass-to-charge (m/z) scanning range of at least m/z 10 to m/z 2,000 • Automated background-subtraction peak detection and deconvolution software utilities • Operation via standard North American 110V electrical outlets
