Legal Justification

There is a requirement for a triple quadrupole tandem mass spectrometer fitted with an interchangeable ionisation source. It must have a liquid chromatography unit with an automated sample introduction. The instrument must be able to perform a multitude of assays including plasma/ urine metadrenalines and 17-hydroxy Progesterone in serum, saliva and bloodspots. Unattended autosampling and continuous running of samples in a 24 hour period should be possible. A computer system should be supplied capable of running the tandem mass spectrometer and sampling system, as well as analysing the mass spectral data to produce results in a reportable format.
