Kort beskrivning
Chemical Ecology at SLU is performing experiments and analyses at the sub-nanogram level, and needs the/this “State-of-the-art” equipment for identification of behaviour modelling interspecific compounds with high accuracy and precision. The equipment will be run in parallel with electrophysiological analyses, and needs extremely high sampling rate of the MS data (i.e. up to 50Hz), in combination with high sensitivity and ppm resolution for accurate mass detection.
Therefore, SLU have the intention to buy a combined gas chromatograph and Time-of-Flight mass spectrometer (GC-Q-TOF), please see attached specifications. SLU provides therefor a so-called “Voluntary Pre-Insight Notice” since Agilent is the only manufacture that offer a quadrupole and mass spectrometer (Q-TOF), which is specially designed to run in combination with a gas chromatograph, ie. an integrated GC-Q-TOF.
