Instrument Dimensions
Parameter Value
Agilent 7010B MS 35 cm (w) × 86 cm (d) × 47 cm (h); Weight: 60 kg Additional space for the data system and optional printer
Mechanical pump 18 cm (w) × 35 cm (d) × 28 cm (h); Weight: 21.5 kg
Agilent 7890B GC 58 cm (w) × 54 cm (d) × 57 cm (h); Weight: 45 kg

INSTALLATION CHECKOUT SPECIFICATIONS
Instrument Detection Limit (IDL) is a more accurate indication of true sensitivity (minimum detectable quantity) than signal-to-noise (S/N), particularly when background noise levels are very low, as with MS/MS measurements when only standard is injected.
IDL verification is a more extensive (eight consecutive injections versus one, in the case of S/N) and reliable test that is performed at installation to ensure proper system qualification.

Parameter Value
EI MRM IDL 0.5 fg or less octafluoronaphthalene (OFN) Statistically derived at 99 % confidence level from the area precision of eight sequential splitless injections* of 1 μL, 2 fg/μL OFN standard. MS/MS transition of m/z 272 & 222 100 msec dwell time
PCI MRM S/N 1 μL of 5 pg/μL benzophenone (BZP) produces > 2,500:1 RMS S/N for the MS/MS transition of m/z 183 & 105 (CH4) All tests were carried out on a 30 m × 0.25 mm, 0.25 μm column
* IDL specification is only demonstrated if an autosampler is part of the installed system. If an autosampler is not present, the EI MRM S/N spec is performed.
The Triple Quadrupole mass spectrometer shall be warranted for at least one (1) year from the date of successful installation and operational qualifications (IQ/OQ).
The delivery requirement of the instrument and set up shall be within 120 days of the award date.
INSPECTION AND ACCEPTANCE CRITERIA
After delivery and setup of the instrument, the Government shall have 30 working days to inspect and verify that the equipment is operational and functional. The work will be deemed acceptable after the completion of the following:
1. Successful Installation and Operational Qualifications (IQ/OQ)
2. Initial Instrument Training/Familiarization.
3. The instrument is warranted for at least one (1) year from the IQ/OQ date.
