Waiver type - Procurement: Nonavailability
Agency: CENTERS FOR DISEASE CONTROL AND PREVENTION (7523) • Product Service Code (PSC) : 6630 | Last Modified: 09/17/2024
Procurement Summary
The CDC Organic Analytical Toxicology Branch (OATB) biomonitoring analysis of human serum and urine for exposure assessment of PFAS, PAHs, and universal pesticides requires a high throughput instrument. The complex analytical system(s) will replace older generation, low performance analysis equipment and allow efficient operation of the methods for these biomonitoring programs. The three laboratories in the OATB currently measure PFAS, PAH, and pesticides via online solid phase extraction (SPE) coupled with AB Sciex LC/MS/MS systems. Older Symbiosis Pro/Pico online SPE manufactured by iChrom and associated software Sparklink are no longer supported which would not be a good platform moving forward. Therefore, OATB needs new iChrom online SPE systems that are compatible with the newer AB Sciex LC/MS/MS software.
