Non-targeted LC-MS
Stichting Wetsus Centre of Excellence for Sustainable Water Technology is seeking a high-resolution, accurate-mass non-targeted LC-MS system to identify unknown degradation products. With approximately 60 PhD researchers currently using targeted triple-quad LC-MS, Wetsus aims to acquire a platform capable of detecting PFAS, pharmaceuticals, insecticides, herbicides, saccharides, proteins, metabolites, and antibiotics, as well as future, as yet undefined substance classes. The tender concerns the supply of a fully equipped, automated LC-MS solution including software, data analysis tools, maintenance, and training. The system must meet the strictest quality standards for water analysis, be scalable for multiple projects, and integrate with existing databases. Wetsus expects a partner that offers technical expertise, rapid implementation, and long-term support.

Wetsus expects a partner that offers technical expertise, rapid implementation, and long-term support.
There are currently approximately 60 PhDs active at Wetsus, where various analytes are measured using 'targeted triple quad LC-MS'. For certain future projects, unknown degradation products must be measured, which Wetsus would like to perform using a high-resolution accurate-mass non-targeted LC-MS system. Typical unknown substance classes would include PFAS, pharmaceuticals/drugs, insecticides/herbicides, saccharides, proteins, metabolites, and antibiotics. However, other substances/substance classes will most likely emerge in the future.
