LA3427C-UCD-CFT for the Supply of a Triple Quadrupole Mass Spectrometry System for University College Dublin (UCD)

Description

University College Dublin request tenders for the Supply, Delivery, Installation, Commissioning and Maintenance of a High-resolution Triple Quadrupole Mass Spectrometry System for High Throughput Quantitative Proteomics, Metabolomics and Lipidomics. The system will include a mass spectrometer, LC system, N2 supply and vacuum pumps. The Triple Quadrupole Mass Spectrometer is required to allow targeted multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) experiments to be carried including those using multiplexed labelled samples. Quality – Samples Identification, is a mandatory part of this evaluation. Suppliers MUST submit samples as part of the Award Criteria, Section A: Test Sample Analysis. Failure to complete this mandatory requirement by the submission deadline will result in elimination from the competition. Tenderers must register their interest in the sample testing by 12pm on Thursday 16th of October 2025 via the messaging facility on E-tenders to avail of the samples. The samples will be available for collection to the suppliers who have registered their interest on 10.00am-3.00pm from UCD Conway Institute, Stores Department, Monday 20th of October 2025.

The Triple Quadrupole Mass Spectrometer is required to allow targeted multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) experiments to be carried including those using multiplexed labelled samples. The system features above will be required to support Proteomics, Metabolomics and Lipidomics applications. The system will have Electrospray Ionization (ESI) for proteomics and metabolomics and may include a potential upgrade to Atmospheric Pressure Chemical Ionization (APCI) or Dual Ion Source to make it useful for less polar metabolites and lipids.
