What we need:
Canterbury District Health Board through its Canterbury Health Laboratories is looking to purchase a state of the art liquid-chromatography-quadrupole-time-of-flight mass spectrometer (LC-QTOF) for use in the Toxicology laboratory and as a resource in the Specialist Cluster. The primary purpose will be to provide a routine drug screening and therapeutic drug monitoring service. As such the equipment will need to be robust across all modules of the equipment. In addition, novel compound identification and other specialist analyses will be targeted by this equipment.
We will require excellent technical support and ongoing access to the Vendor’s Application Specialists for this analyser. Library and databases are an important component of this system and as such vendors will need to identify databases being supplied and also be proactive in the communicating of updates to said databases. Clear identification of ongoing costs related to these databases and also preventative maintenance must be part of the vendor’s response. Transparency is important to us with any ongoing vendor relationships.
What’s important to us:
We are looking at a solution for the ever expanding move into the area of LCMS and related technologies. We have embraced the use of MS techniques across a range of biochemical analyses and only see this increasing over time. We are looking at options and opportunities to provide robust analyses across all of our referral sources.
