## Description
Liquid Chromatography High Resolution Mass Spectrometry instrumentation.
The instrument must be a high-resolution FT bench-top system. With a Quadrupole -Orbitrap configuration delivering high resolution and accurate masses for modes of operation. The mass spectrometer must be capable of real-time data acquisition and data processing, enabling a high spectrum repetition rate. The mass spectrometry must be able to perform rapid switchover between APCI and ESI using quick release connecting retainers, and without breaking vacuum. The mass spectrometer must provide control software for the UltiMate™ 3000 RSLCnano System Liquid Chromatography system. This is an essential feature as the instrument must be capable to control our current Liquid chromatography system, as it will be used in combination with the proposed instrumentation.
