Tenders Are Invited For Chromatographs – Acquisition, Installation And Commissioning Of A High-Performance Liquid Chromatography System Coupled To Triple Quadrupole Mass Spectrometry (Uhplc/Tq) For The Technical Research Services Of The University Of Alicante.

Chromatographs – Acquisition, Installation And Commissioning Of A High-Performance Liquid Chromatography System Coupled To Triple Quadrupole Mass Spectrometry (Uhplc/Tq) For The Technical Research Services Of The University Of Alicante.. The Object Of The Contract Consists Of The Acquisition, Installation And Commissioning Of A High-Performance Liquid Chromatography System Coupled To Triple Quadrupole Mass Spectrometry (Uhplc/Tq) For The Technical Research Services Of The University Of Alicante. This File Finds Its Justification In The Need To Provide The University Of Alicante With A High-Performance Liquid Chromatography System Coupled To Triple Quadrupole Mass Spectrometry (Uhplc-Tq) That Allows It To Expand And Substantially Improve The Analytical Capacity Of The Technical Research Services, Providing Access To Cutting-Edge Technologies Essential For The Development Of Multidisciplinary Research Projects. Currently, The Mass Spectrometry Unit Of The Technical Research Services Lacks Equipment Of These Characteristics, Which Represents A Significant Limitation For The Qualitative And Quantitative Analysis Of Non-Volatile Organic Compounds, Metabolites And Emerging Contaminants In A Wide Variety Of Matrices, As Well As For The Performance Of Advanced Structural Studies And Trace-Level Determinations. The Nonexistence Of This Equipment Has To Date Forced Numerous Samples And Analyzes To Be Referred To Other Centers, With The Consequent Delay In Response Times, Risk Of Deterioration Of The Samples And Limitation To Adequately Meet The Growing Demands Of The Research Community. The Acquisition Of A Uhplc-Tq Will Allow The Incorporation Of New Methodologies And Applications, Such As The Highly Sensitive Quantification Of Drugs, Metabolites, Environmental Contaminants, Additives, Pesticides Or Bioactive Compounds, As Well As The Performance Of High-Resolution Metabolomic Studies, Currently Essential In Competitive National And International Projects. In Addition, It Will Facilitate Equal And Efficient Access To This Technology Both To The Research Groups Of The University Of Alicante And To External Users, Optimizing Resources And Promoting Interdisciplinary Collaboration. This Equipment Will Decisively Reinforce The Scientific And Technological Capacity Of The University Of Alicante, Aligning Itself With The Strategic Objectives Of Research Excellence, Sustainability And Knowledge Transfer, And Contributing To Consolidating Its Position As A Reference Institution At A National And International Level.
