Background

The DMPK group works with all project teams specifically with the Chemists in characterizing the compounds they synthesize. The LC-MS system is used to ascertain compound concentra�ons in various DMPK assays including Metabolic stability assays, Cell permeability and efflux transporter assays, plasma protein binding assays etc. The data from this system impacts all projects at NCATS and project teams rely on this data to advance their projects.

Project Requirements

NCATS requires brand-name or equal Thermo Scien�fic Orbitrap Exploris 480 Basic System 2/IC, accessories, installa�on, and training with Trade-in of a Q Exac�ve )Serial Number 01773L).

6.0 kVA Security Plus II Powervar UPS (Uninterrup�ble Power Supply) can be used with various instruments and accessories.

To accommodate the different plugs from the various instruments and accessories, a separate PDU (Power Distribu�on Unit) must also be ordered.

The following LC MS systems can be used with 6.0 kVA UPS:

All Exploris, ID-X, IQ-X, Fusion, For�s, Quan�s, Endura, Quan�va, Quantum, Al�s,Fusion Lumos, Eclipse, LTQ XL, and Q Exac�ve series. All Plus versions of the instruments above can also be used with this UPS system. When adding a Peak Gas Generator to any instrument, at least an 8.0 kVA UPS is needed.

Other instruments and accessories can also be added if one does not exceed the power requirements of the UPS and that one has the needed receptacles to plug these instruments and accessories into the UPS either directly or through a PDU.

Specs:

This UPS comes with a 6 foot power cord ending in a 6-50P. The UPS requires an input voltage of 208V connected to a 45A breaker. The back of the UPS has various receptacles that can be used to plug in other devices. The receptacles included in this model are:

6x 5-15R, L14-30R, 6-20R, L6-30R. The L14-30R is the receptacle that is used to plug the PDU into the UPS Dims: 240mm x 718.4mm x 826mm

C0012-01- 00077

8 PV PDU 2xL6-20R,2x6-20R,4x5-15R, NOT EU The PDU module for the Powervar UPS systems acts as a “powerstrip” with numerous plug receptacles. The L14-30R (receptacle on UPS) mates with the L14-30P (Plug on PDU) 10’ long power cord. The unique thing about this plug/receptacle combina�on is that it contains two hot legs, a neutral and a ground, so it’s a four conductor set up (“14”), allowing both 115 and 230 VAC to be distributed. The “30” stands for the current ra�ng of the device. These receptacles allow the user to plug in

C0202-99- 00182 all the power cords that belong to their LCMS/ICP-MS system in one place and keep them protected from power surges and from short power failures “brownouts” of the mains power to the building.

The PDU can supply both 125V and 230V depending on the plugs being used. As a rule, any outlet that is a Nema 5-XX will provide 125 V output, while any Nema 6-XX will provide 230V output. Each PDU can be matched up with any of the LSMS Powervar Security Plus II UPS systems. The differences in the 3 PDUs that are offered relate to the different receptacles that each of our MS systems require. This PDU works in conjunc�on with any LSMS Powervar UPS system. It is designed for use with the Exploris (all), ID-X, IQ-X, Fusion, For�s, For�s Plus, Quan�s, and Endura MS systems as well as iCAP Q/Qnova Series. It contains the following receptacles: • 4 x 5- 15R rated at 15A (120V) • 2 x 6-20R rated at 20A (230V) • 2 x L6-20R rated at 20A (230V)
