1. The ion source must be fully compatible and integrated with a Bruker timsTOF Pro 2 mass spectrometer.

2. Must allow switch-over between ESI and APCI without breaking vacuum.

3. Must include a compatible probe for the direct analysis of solid samples.

III. DELIVERY

The Ion source shall be delivered within 30 days from the date of the award of this requirement in Building 221 at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), 100 Bureau Drive, Gaithersburg, MD campus. FOB destination.

The Contractor shall deliver the instrument to NIST Gaithersburg, MD Monday through Friday, 9-5 EST excluding federal holidays.

IV. WARRANTY

The contractor shall warrant the APCI ion source for a period of one year, to commence after delivery and acceptance of the ion source by the government. The warranty shall include unlimited repair visits in the event of instrument failure during normal duty hours.
