The instruments will be used to identify and semi-quantify up to thousands of metabolites per sample using semi-targeted methods. The equipment will be used in the Phenome Centre Birmingham to conduct collaborative research projects and service work. This research facility utilises of a suite of mass spectrometry instrumentation for targeted and untargeted metabolite analysis and metabolite identification, specifically: • Three Thermo Scientific UltiMate 3000 UHPLC systems coupled to Q Exactive Focus mass spectrometers • Two Thermo Scientific UltiMate 3000 UHPLC systems coupled to TSQ Quantiva triple quadrupole mass spectrometers • Thermo Scientific Orbitrap Elite mass spectrometer ## Lots (1) ### Lot 1: Untitled lot - **Lot id:** `1` - **Status:** complete - **CPV codes:** 38432200 - **Delivery regions:** UKG ## Awards & Winning Suppliers (1) - **Award:** 030055-2022-1 (active) - Supplier(s): **Thermo Electron Manufacturing Limited T/A Thermo Fisher Scientific** - Supplier identifiers: `GB-FTS-93879` - Value: £898,520 † (exc.
