-
The works, supplies or services can be provided only by a particular economic operator for the following reason:
absence of competition for technical reasons as detailed below:
• Achieve high sensitivity and near 100% ion utilisation through the use of trapped ion mobility or other technologies
• Capable of separating chromatographically co-eluting positional isomers of peptides containing post-translational modifications by trapped ion mobility.
• Provide high MS/MS scan speeds exceeding 120 Hz, to allow for high throughput sample analyses using short chromatographic gradients whilst maintaining high peptide identification rates
• Perform real-time database searches of peptide spectra in order to deliver a complete peptide database search result by the end of the run.
• Capable of measuring and incorporating Collisional Cross Section (CCS) values into the database search algorithm to improve peptide identification rates.
• Capable of highly selective targeted assays such as Parallel Reaction Monitoring (PRM), ideally by selecting peptide targets through a combination of mass over charge and ion mobility
• Mirror new proteomic analytical hardware provided to a partner laboratory and enable method and technology transfer between the labs.
