The salient characteristics of the Liquid Chromatography High-Resolution Quadrupole Time-of-

Flight (QTOF) with Tandem Mass Spectrometer (LC-MS/MS) include:

• Automated optimization of ion optics and full QTOF mass axis calibration, fully integrated part of the mass spectrometer (no manual adjusting of plumbing).

• Transparent and automated introduction of reference masses through a built-in calibrant delivery system with support for real-time internal reference mass correction for MS and MS/MS operation.

• Up to 5 orders of dynamic range within a single spectrum containing co-eluting compounds.

• Analog to Digital Conversion at a minimum of 10 GHz.

• <1ppm mass accuracy within a 3-degree Celsius drift per hour without needing to re-tune, to accommodate temperature variation in the laboratory. Active temperature compensation.

• For maximum uptime and robustness, ion sources are single bend 90-degree orthogonal geometry, in order to minimize chemical noise, carryover, maintenance, and ion suppression.

• Isolation valve included for vent-free capillary maintenance, preventing unnecessary downtime during routine operation.

• Focusing of the electrospray plume at the sampling aperture of the mass spectrometer for optimal ion sampling and peak shape.

• Detection and enhancement signal of fragile molecules that are susceptible to fragmentation and loss within the atmospheric pressure interface of an LCMS.

• Data Dependent MS/MS and Data Independent MS/MS support.

• Options to add on the following additional sources: APCI, APPI, combined ESI/APCI, nanoESI interface, and GC APCI source with fully integrated GC and transfer line control.

• TOF mass resolution of at least 30,000 at m/z 200 and 60,000 at m/z 2,722 after automatic tuning procedure, at full acquisition speed, with a single bend V-shaped flight path.

• Mass measurement accuracy <0.8 ppm RMS error in TOF mode as measured by calculating average error from 10 repeat injections onto an HPLC column under electrospray ionization conditions.

• Mass measurement accuracy <2 ppm RMS error in MS/MS mode as measured by calculating average error from 10 repeat injections onto an HPLC column under electrospray ionization.

• MS sensitivity of 1 pg of reserpine on column under electrospray ionization mode at HPLC flow rate of 400 uL/min with a signal-to-noise ratio of at least 500:1 for the reserpine (M+H)+ signal at m/z 609.2807. Must be achievable while maintaining maximum mass resolution.

• MS/MS sensitivity of 1 pg of reserpine on column under electrospray ionization mode at HPLC flow rate of 400 uL/min with a signal-to-noise ratio of at least 1500:1 RMS for the most intense product ions (m/z 174, 195, 397, 448). Achievable while maintaining maximum mass resolution.

• Resolving power specification (60,000 at 2,722m/z) and simultaneous sensitivity specification shown above for 1 pg of reserpine on column under electrospray ionization mode at HPLC flow rate of 400 uL/min. Both of these criteria must be met under the same instrument conditions – intent is to avoid sacrificing sensitivity or resolution to optimize the other criteria.

• Spectral acquisition rate of 50 spectra/second in MS mode and 30 spectra/second MS/MS mode while maintaining a resolution of 60,000 at m/z 2,722.

• Isotopic fidelity such that the relative isotopic abundance error is less than 5% of the RMS for 10 ESI calibrant ions in positive polarity (RIA error (%) = 100 × (RIAexp – RIAtheo)/ RIAtheo).

• Handling and Shipping to NCATS, FOB Destination.

• Installation and Equipment familiarization on-site (NCATS).

• On-site consulting for at least four (4) participants for five (5) day (includes travel).

• Twelve (12) month warranty on the instruments.

• Ninety (90) days warranty on consumables.

• Twelve (12) months software updates and phone assistance.
