CEFAS21-82 MALDI-TOF (Mass Spectrometer)
This is a contract result notice, not an open opportunity. Details from the official award data.
Cefas require a MALDI-TOFF benchtop bio-analyser and spectra libraries to rapidly detect bacteria, yeasts, and moulds, with an additional library to detect pathogens that require addition containment or security.
The system must have the ability to curate libraries for niche pathogens that are critical for animal, human and environmental health.
It would be attractive if these curated libraries could be shared with other collaborative partners (e.g., Animal and Plant Health Agency).
These should be able to be shared via Excel or other easily compatible programme.
The instrument must have the option of positive or negative ion mode and features that enable novel future applications, such as AMR (Antimicrobial Resistance), lipid characterisation and new matrices (algae, hymolymph).
A cleaning mode for the ion source must be integrated into the device.
The technology must allow high mass spectrometric resolution across a wide mass range that is tailored to microorganism identification (bacteria, fungi, yeasts and moulds.
Installation and at least two days training must be provided by the Tenderer and included in the quotation.
Pricing for a full-service agreement covering the lifetime of the instrument must also be included (10 years or 50 Million shots of the laser).
