The South Carolina Department of Health & Environmental Control (DHEC) is seeking qualified vendors to provide one Inductively Coupled Plasma Triple Quadrupole Mass Spectrometer instrument with Auto-sampler, Workstation, Monitor, Printer, and ICD-MS MassHunter Software Subscription. The system identified herein must at a minimum: have a vacuum system which addresses the added stress of having a longer vacuum chamber housing two quadrupoles and a collision/reaction cell in between; be able to perform arsenic speciation in clinical samples when coupled to a High Pressure Liquid Chromatograph (HPLC); and be compatible with the DHEC Public Health Laboratory’s current Agilent HPLC 1260, allowing for instruments to smoothly interface and operate using the same Agilent MassHunter software. The total estimated dollar amount of the purchase is $277,996.28.
Qualified vendors should contact Whitney Carswell at carswewp@dhec.sc.gov by Midnight ET, February 3, 2021 for additional information.
