Ausschreibungsbeschreibung
DTU Sustain is working with environmental forensics and metabolomic investigations to study the fate and occurrence of chemicals and small molecules dispersed into the environment. The work involves creating untargeted metabolomic and non-target chemical analysis data recordings of trace level chemicals in complex environmental samples using liquid chromatography hyphenated with ultrahigh-resolution mass spectrometry. To be able to make new and novel molecular characterizations and discoveries, DTU wants to procure a dielectric-barrier discharge ionization interface capable of being hyphenated with an existing Orbitrap mass spectrometer. Dielectric-barrier discharge ionization is a soft-ionization method is a promising alternative to traditional mass spectrometry ionization techniques. As an ambient ionization technique, dielectric-barrier discharge operates via a non-thermal plasma generated between two electrodes separated by a dielectric barrier. Unlike traditional ionization sources, it produces a rich mixture of reactive species (e.g., metastable atoms, radicals, photons, and ions) capable of ionizing a broader range of analytes through soft ionization mechanisms (e.g. proton transfer, adduct and Penning ionization). In addition, the combined system must be/have; • Fitted to an Orbitrap Exploris series high-resolution mass spectrometer • Enable for soft ionization of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons • Capable of desorption and analyzing a solid-phase microextraction fiber in the interface • A plug-n-play ion source that does not require calibration • Capable of real-time recording of volatile organic chemicals • Soft ionization mechanism based cold plasma, proton transfer and ultra-violet light • No or reduced in-source fragmentation • Potential for coupling with gas and liquid chromatography

LA3685C - CFT - FSI - Supply, Delivery, Installation, and Commissioning of a Benchtop Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) Spectrometer
Forensic Science Ireland request the supply of a Benchtop Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) Spectrometer with a compatible autosampler system. It is envisioned that this NMR system will be used to quantify many common analytes submitted to a volume drugs analysis lab, such as MDMA, amphetamine, methylamphetamine, and ketamine. The system will be utilised for rapid isomer identification to replace current Thin Layer Chromatography (TLC) methods. The NMR spectrometer will also be used for full molecule structural elucidation, where samples are infrequently encountered, and for the general analysis of chemical unknown exhibits that are submitted to the laboratory. The analytical data generated from this spectrometer will be used to prepare casefiles for presentation to the courts for legal proceedings in Ireland.

LA3634C-DCC-CFT for the Supply of a Gas Chromatography system with a Triple Quadrupole Mass Spectrometer (GC-QQQ), Helium Saver Autosamplers for Purge and Trap and Solid Phase Micro Extraction
Dublin City Council (DCC) Central Laboratory wishes to procure a new gas chromatography mass spectrometry system for water quality analysis based on SI99 of 2023. Dublin City Council’s Central Laboratory conducts and provides INAB accredited testing of public and private drinking water supplies, as well as testing Uisce Eireann water samples from processing and the supply network as required. In future, DCC expects to focus increasingly on private supplies, and the applicable legislation requires the same range of tests as at present. Many of these tests are currently outsourced by DCC, meanwhile limits and enforcement are expected to tighten over time. The main focus of the current procurement specification is to bring analyses back in-house and onto DCC’s INAB ISO17025 scope, to maximise 1. Practicable reduction in the costs of outsourced analyses by the Central Laboratory 2. DCC’s ability to implement its current and future statutory testing 3. DCC testing capability to serve Local Authorities around Ireland 4. Provision of impartial means for DCC to verify the effectiveness of water management initiatives for Climate and Urban Resilience. Analytical parameters of interest are based on Statutory Instrument 99-2023 and include core suites of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs including THMs), Pesticides, and Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). Potential future additions to the scope include the endocrine disruptors and (micro)plastic residues. To address this Dublin City Council request tender’s equipment supply, delivery, installation, setup, service and maintenance, warranty, software licences and upgrades, and a stock of consumable equipment parts, and training: for a Gas Chromatography system with a Triple Quadrupole Mass Spectrometer (GC-QQQ), Helium saver, and autosamplers for Purge and Trap and Solid Phase Micro Extraction.

Acquisition of a GC-QTOF-MS with PAL3
Our laboratory requires the capacity for gas chromatography coupled to high-resolution quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry (GC-QTOF) to support advanced untargeted metabolomics of microbial systems, with a central objective of building a curated, high-confidence database of microbial strain-specific metabolic and volatile profiles that can be systematically mined as new biological questions arise. Achieving this goal requires an analytical platform capable of comprehensive, reproducible, and informationrich data acquisition that extends beyond the limitations of conventional GC-MS approaches. Microbial metabolomes are chemically diverse and highly strain dependent, encompassing volatile, semi-volatile, and derivatized metabolites produced across a wide dynamic range. Analyses of microbial extracts frequently yield complex chromatograms with extensive co-elution, while SPME headspace sampling of cultures captures transient and low-abundance microbial volatile organic compounds (mVOCs) that are central to microbial communication, competition, and environmental adaptation. High-resolution MS coupled to GC separation is uniquely suited to resolve this complexity. A GC-QTOF provides accurate-mass full-spectrum acquisition across the entire GC-elutable mass range, enabling elemental composition assignment and confident differentiation of isobaric compounds via fragmentation. This level of mass accuracy and resolving power is essential for untargeted metabolomics and is a prerequisite for generating strain profiles that remain interoperable over time, even as databases expand and analytical questions evolve. In order to combine our existing datasets of secondary metabolites and strain extracts, we require a system that can produce high abundances of molecular ions in the source. This will allow us to investigate the fragmentation of specific ions in very complex samples without the need for baseline separation. This is needed for higher throughput analysis of strains, and integrating our current fragmentation libraries into the new system. Unlike typical single-quadrupole GC-MS systems, which rely primarily on nominal-mass spectra, a QTOF enables precursor-specific, accurate-mass fragmentation experiments. Incorporating MS/MS information directly into strain profiles significantly increases their long-term value for downstream data mining, comparative analyses, and cross-study validation. The system’s ability to acquire complete, untargeted datasets with stable mass accuracy and wide dynamic range is critical for database-driven research. Full-spectrum acquisition ensures that all detectable metabolites are recorded in each analysis, allowing retrospective interrogation of historical data as new microbial metabolites are discovered or as additional strains are introduced into the database. This capability eliminates the need for re-analysis of archived samples and maximizes the scientific return from each experiment. Equally important is the platform’s compatibility with advanced spectral deconvolution, retention index alignment, and metabolomics software workflows, which enables consistent feature extraction and annotation across large sample sets. These capabilities are essential for constructing a robust, searchable strain metabolomics database that supports longitudinal studies, comparative strain analysis, and hypothesis-driven data mining. In summary, acquisition of a high-resolution GC-QTOF with accurate-mass MS/MS functionality is essential for establishing a scalable, reusable microbial metabolomics infrastructure. This instrument will enable our laboratory to gener-ate durable, high-confidence strain profiles that support discovery-driven research today while serving as a foundational resource for future data mining and systems-level microbial analysis. Capabilities Required for Building a Searchable Microbial Strain Database and incorporation of current data: • Accurate-mass, full-spectrum acquisition of GC-eluting metabolites, ensuring long-term interpretability of un-targeted datasets • High-resolution MS/MS fragmentation, enabling confident structural annotation and validation of strain-specific metabolites • Fast acquisition rates that are independent of resolution, compatible with SPME headspace and narrow GC peaks, preserving reproducibility across strains • Wide dynamic range and high sensitivity, capturing both dominant metabolic features and low-abundance strain markers • Retrospective data mining of archived datasets, allowing new metabolites or patterns to be identified without re-analysis • A robust data acquisition technique creating data the is interoperable with public and in-house datasets • High abundance molecular ion spectra from an EI source to allow CID fragmentation for in-house spectral library comparisons
