Rental Agreement for a high sensitivity Tandem Mass Spectrometer - High Performance Liquid Chromatography system for analysis of hormones biological fluids.

m runs 10 methods including newborn blood spot analysis that were developed either in-house or in conjunction with suppliers. The Blood Sciences labs currently have four Sciex triple quadrupole tandem mass spectrometers (TMS) linked to Shimadzu or Sciex (Exion) liquid chromatography (HPLC) systems.

This includes the system that we are replacing. The combined laboratories currently process around 120,000 samples a year through the four LC-Tandem Mass Spectrometer systems. Results generated from the systems are from technically/clinical
