Description

The aim of this instrument purchase is to acquire an LC-QQQ able to run a targeted PFAS method in potentially complex sample matrices. We require a user-friendly software platform and the right level of vender support to enable the end user to run samples and report complex data with the use of libraries and databases. We also require an LC-TOF capable of MRM with a DESI sample introduction system that can run a variety of environmental applications in potentially complex sample matrices. We require a user-friendly software platform and the right level of vender support to enable the end user to run samples and report complex data with the potential use of libraries and databases.
