Service Contract for a Bruker Microflex Mass Spectrometer and Accessories

The Facility for Biotechnology Resources (FBR) of the Center for Biologics Evaluation

and Research (CBER) provides an array of services, including peptide synthesis/

characterization and MS-based protein identification, quantification, and posttranslational

analysis.

FBR uses a Bruker Microflex mass spectrometer (MS) to ensure high quality peptides are

accurately synthesized. The MS is also used for proteomic services to support the

research endeavors of FDA scientists. The MS is utilized daily, thus maintaining the

system at a good working condition is critical for our operation.

This requirement is for a service contract for maintenance and/or repairs of the MS and

accessories.
