Gas Chromatograph/Mass Spectrometer System

The Muskegon County is soliciting bids for a Gas Chromatograph/Mass Spectrometer System to analyze water samples for Volatile Organic Compounds by GC/MS using primarily EPA methods. The system should include a complete setup for the analysis, and the vendor should provide trade-in information for the existing Agilent 7890B GC/5977A MSD with EST Centurion autosampler and EST Encon Evolution I purge-and-trap. The system quadrupole must be heated, but alternatives may be considered if the vendor provides a detailed description of how their system achieves the same performance. • The system should be capable of analyzing water samples for Volatile Organic Compounds by GC/MS using primarily EPA methods. • The vendor should provide trade-in information for the existing Agilent 7890B GC/5977A MSD with EST Centurion autosampler and EST Encon Evolution I purge-and-trap. • The system quadrupole must be heated, but alternatives may be considered. • The vendor should provide a detailed description of how their system achieves the same performance as a GC/MS system with heated quadrupoles if their system does not have a heated quadrupole.
