    Natural Resources Institute Finland needs an ultra-high performance liquid chromatography (UHPLC) system equipped with three detectors: diode array detector (DAD), charged aerosol detector (CAD), and single quadrupole mass spectrometer detector (QMS), for a maximum total value of 180,000 EUR over 2 years. The system will be used for the analysis of complex extracts of plant and biomass, including quantification and preliminary characterization of compounds such as sugars, phenolic compounds, polyphenols, oligomeric tannins, carbohydrate-lignin oligomers, and polyamines. This includes all necessary equipment, such as a nitrogen generator sufficient to operate QMS and CAD simultaneously. Multi-manufacturer configurations of UHPLC and detectors are not accepted. Tenders will be evaluated based on price (70%), dwell volume (10%), number of standard vial positions in autosampler (5%), sampling rate of the CAD (5%), and mass range of QMS (10%).
