Purchase of Agilent 8890 GC/7000E GC Triple Quad System

The NASA/NSSC is seeking to purchase an Agilent 8890 GC/7000E GC Triple Quad System for analysis of molecular and stable isotope analysis of meteoritic organic compounds. The system must have specific characteristics, including dual filament design, monolithic gold plated quadrupole, and acquisition and processing software that is universal across mass spectrometry platforms. The system will be used at the NASA Ames Research Center. • The system must be able to perform high-quality data analysis. • The system must be able to process a large volume of past data. • The system must have a universal software platform to allow users to use both liquid and gas phase instrumentation. • The system must have a high sensitivity to detect ultra-trace levels of analytes.
