3. EVALUATION AND SELECTION 3.1. Award will be made to the lowest priced responsive bid(s) from a responsible bidder(s). The determination of lowest price shall include the application of the local preference, when applicable. 3.1.1. Award may be based on total bid amount, distinct lots, or individual items (“Basis of Award”). 3.1.2. When determining lowest price for award, the County will not consider prompt payment discounts. 3.1.3. In the event of a conflict between unit price bid and bidder's extended price, the unit price will prevail unless the conflict is a result of a Mistake in Bid. In that event, the bid will be rejected as non-responsive. 3.1.4. In the event of a tie bid between responsible bidders, award will be by random selection through a process determined by County and observable by the bidders involved in the tie. Should one or more of the bidders involved in the tie be a Preferred Vendor, award will be made as described in 3.3 below. 3.2. The County reserves the right to perform a pre-award survey to determine whether a bidder is responsible (possessing the attributes of trustworthiness, quality, fitness, capacity, and experience to satisfactorily perform the contract) and whether a bid is responsive (conforming with material bid requirements). 3.2.1. As part of the pre-award survey, The County reserves the right to request clarification of and/or additional information (“Clarification”) from Offerors. 3.2.2. The Contracting Officer will determine the appropriate means of Clarification. The County is not obligated to seek Clarification, so Offerors are advised to submit complete and accurate information in the bid. 3.2.3. The request for Clarification is not an opportunity for a bidder to modify their bid, but only to provide additional information requested by the County to support the pre-award survey. 3.2.4. The County may request that samples be provided as part of the bid process, including with the bid submission, when evaluating proposed equal items, or during the pre-award survey. Samples must be furnished free of expense to the County, prominently marked with the RFB number, and delivered to the location specified by the County. Upon request and where feasible, samples will be returned to bidder at bidder’s expense and risk when County review is complete. 3.2.5. Failure to timely provide requested information or samples may result in a finding of non-responsiveness or non-responsibility based on the information available to the County. 3.2.6. The County may consider information known to the County in addition to the information provided in response to the RFB. 3.2.7. The County has the discretion to treat each lot or line item separately for purposes of evaluation, in accordance with the Basis of Award. 3.2.8. The County has the discretion, but not the obligation, to waive any minor irregularities or deviations from the requirements of the RFB. The County reserves the right to waive a variation in specification if County determines such variation does not materially change performance. 3.2.9. The County’s determination of responsibility or responsiveness shall be conclusive. 3.3. Local preference: In accordance with Section 405 of the San Diego County Code of Administrative Ordinances, five percent (5%) or fifty thousand dollars ($50,000), whichever is less (“Price Adjustment”), shall be subtracted from the bid price of any Preferred Vendor (a Local Business that is also a Veteran Owned Business, Disabled Veteran Business, or Small Business) being evaluated for award (“Adjusted Price”). A Preferred Vendor’s Adjusted Price shall be the basis for award to the lowest responsible bidder. In the event that one Preferred Vendor is involved in a tie for the lowest responsible bidder, the Preferred Vendor shall be awarded the contract. In the event that more than one Preferred Vendor is involved in a tie for the lowest responsible bidder, the County shall randomly select among those Preferred Vendors for contract award.

If a contract is awarded to a Preferred Vendor, it shall be awarded at the unadjusted bid price. For example, a Preferred Vendor submitting a bid for $100,000 would be evaluated as if the bid price was $95,000. If based on the Adjusted Price, the Preferred Vendor is the lowest responsible bidder, the Preferred Vendor would be awarded the contract at the unadjusted price of $100,000.

Make sure the power cords supplied with the 6230/6224 TOF are appropriate for your country and site before using them. Maintain easy access to the power cords so they can be disconnected during maintenance. The use of incorrect or makeshift fuses or the short-circuiting of fuse holders creates a shock hazard for the operator and can damage the instrument. Replace fuses only with fuses of identical current rating and type. Excessive fluctuations in the line voltage can create a shock hazard and can damage the instrument. Make sure the supply voltage does not fluctuate more than -5% or +10% from the rated voltage. This equipment must be installed in a Category II environment as defined in IEC 664.

Electrostatic discharge is a threat to TOF electronics The printed circuit (PC) boards in the 6230/6224 TOF can be damaged by electrostatic discharge. Do not touch any of the boards unless it is absolutely necessary. If you must handle them, wear a grounded wrist strap and take other antistatic precautions. Wear a grounded wrist strap any time you must remove the 6230/6224 TOF covers.

Some parts are dangerously hot Some parts of the 6230/6224 TOF operate at temperatures high enough to cause serious burns. Whenever possible, cool the part of the instrument that you will be maintaining before you begin working on it. You should always cool heated areas of the 6230/6224 TOF to room temperature before working on them. They will cool faster if you first set the temperature of the heated zone to room temperature. Turn the zone off after it has reached the setpoint. If you must perform maintenance on hot parts, use a wrench and wear gloves.

NOTE: Each product listed requires a dedicated circuit. The TOF, LC, and data system should each have a separate circuit breaker. The TOF system includes a wide-range power supply that can operate without reconfiguration, however the rough pump model must be configured for either of two voltage ranges of single-phase alternating current (ac): • 200 - 210 Vac +10%, -5%, 50/60 Hz (typical for the U.S. and Japan) • 220 - 240 Vac Vac +10%, -5%, 50 Hz (typical for Europe and Australia)

The rough pump will be configured according to the standard voltage and frequency in the country from which the order originates. For example, if an order originates from an Agilent sales office in Germany, the rough pump will be configured for the standard electrical power in Germany.

CAUTION If an instrument is being ordered from one location, but is to be installed in another location with different electrical power characteristics, a special note must be made on the order that the electrical power at the site is different from the standard electrical power in that country.

Power must meet the stated stability specifications. Use a line monitor to check the power stability. If the line power is unstable, it may be necessary to install a line conditioner.

This equipment must be installed in a Category II environment as defined in IEC 60664. 2 The rough pump is supplied for the standard voltage in the country where the order originates. The Agilent G3251B Dual-spray ESI source and the Agilent G3252B APCI source draw their power from the TOF instrument and do not require separate line voltage. 3 Depends on product configuration.

Single-phase power configurations

Electrical power for the 6230/6224 TOF may be delivered in either single- phase or 208-Wye configuration. Table 3 lists the primary voltage characteristics of each configuration. Correct grounding for the 208-Wye configuration must be verified by an electrician. The neutral wire cannot be used for safety grounding. The ground wire should carry zero current except for ground-fault current or static electric discharge. The entire system should share an isolated, noise-free electrical ground that is connected to the main earth ground for the facility.

WARNING The power source to which you connect a 6230/6224 TOF must be equipped with a protective earth contact (ground).

WARNING Do not interrupt the protective earth contact inside or outside the 6230/6224 TOF or disconnect the protective earth terminal (ground).

Power plugs and cords

The 6230/6224 TOF is supplied with an appropriate power cord and plug for the country in which the order originates. See Appendix A on page 33 for illustrations of the available power cords. The length of all 6230/6224 TOF power cords is approximately 2.4 m (8 ft).

The 6230/6224 TOF data system components also include power cords with plugs appropriate for the country in which the order was placed. Power cord lengths for the data system components and accessories are approximately 2.3 m (7.5 ft).

CAUTION If an instrument is being ordered from one location, but is to be installed in another location with different electrical power characteristics, a special note must be made on the order that the electrical power at the site is different from the standard electrical power in that country.

WARNING Make sure the power cords supplied with the 6230/6224 TOF are appropriate for your country and site before using them. See Appendix A for a description of power cords used by country.

WARNING Do not use extension cords with the 6230/6224 TOF. Extension cords cannot provide enough power and can be a safety hazard.

Other electrical considerations Additional electrical considerations include: • Electromagnetic interference (EMI), such as is generated by NMRs, radio transmitters, and microwave links, may interfere with system performance. • Protect the system from static electricity by observing humidity and temperature requirements. Minimize the presence of non- conductive products such as carpets and vinyl floor tiles. • Install emergency-off pushbuttons that can disconnect power to the ventilation system and all electric equipment in the room except overhead lighting. • Separate convenience outlets should be provided for building maintenance and other appliances. Convenience outlets must be on circuits separate from the 6230/6224 Accuate Mass TOF system. Convenience outlets must share the normal building distribution ground, not the 6230/6224 Accuate Mass TOF system ground. • In some geographical areas it may be advisable to install lightning protection for personnel and equipment.

Communication Requirements Telephone A telephone with a long cord or a cordless phone to be used at the computer will allow the operator to communicate with Agilent Technologies support personnel.

Site LAN network If you intend to connect your 6230/6224 Accuate Mass TOF system to your site’s LAN network, you must have an additional shielded twisted pair network cable. In addition, internet access for the control PC is strongly recommended to allow remote control and diagnosis of the 6230/6224 TOF through WebEx or Carbon Copy software. This is required for some service contracts.

Agilent Technologies is not responsible for connecting to or establishing NOTE communication with your site LAN network. The service representative will test the 6230/6224 TOF’s ability to communicate with the bundled PC ONLY.

The IP address for the 6230/6224 TOF is fixed and cannot be changed. Placing NOTE the 1200 LC or the 6230/6224 TOF on a corporate LAN environment is not supported.

Air conditioning requirements Air conditioning considerations include temperature, humidity, airborne dust, and exhaust venting. Each of these is considered in more detail in the following material.

Environmental Conditions The 6230/6224 TOF is designed for use in the following environmental conditions for Class 1 Laboratory Equipment. Please see Table 4 for a summary of environmental conditions.

Table 4 Environmental Conditions Equipment class: Class 1 Laboratory Equipment Pollution: Degree 2 Installation: Category II Environment: Indoor Use Altitude: Not to exceed 2000 m Electrical Supply: 200 - 210 Vac, 50/60 Hz (configuration for U.S. & Japan) 220 - 240 Vac, 50 Hz (configuration for Europe)

Agilent G6230AA/G6224AA TOF Site Preparation Guide 21 Site Preparation

Mains supply voltage: Fluctuations not to exceed 10% of nominal supply voltage Operating Temperature: 15 to 35°C (59 to 95°F) at constant temperature +/- 3°C from calibration temperature Humidity: 20-85% RH at 35 °C

Temperature and humidity The Agilent 6230/6224 TOF TOF is specified for operation under the following conditions: • 15 to 35°C (59 to 95°F) • Constant temperature (variations < 3°C/hr) • 20-85% relative humidity at 35°C • Non-condensing, non-corrosive atmosphere Environmental control systems must maintain these temperatures and humidity ranges. The 6224 TOF dissipates up to 910 Watts (3,107 BTU/hr). The 6230 TOF dissipates up to 1120 Watts (3,824 BTU/hr). Approximately 600 Watts (2,047 BTU/hr) are removed with the source exhaust. The LC and data system also contribute significantly to the cooling load. The exact amounts will depend on their configurations. Additional allowances should be made for other heat sources such as heat from other equipment, heat from adjacent rooms, and heat from laboratory personnel.

Airborne dust Agilent recommends a maximum airborne particle density of 55 mg/m3. If you suspect your site exceeds this limit, contact your local Agilent Customer Service Organization. Agilent Customer Engineers with special training and equipment can test for airborne particle density. They can offer suggestions for reducing airborne dust.

Exhaust venting There are two sources of exhaust on the 6230/6224 TOF: the spray chamber and the rough pump. The drain hose routes both nitrogen gas and vapor from the spray chamber to the drain bottle. The vapor is made up of mobile phase and sample. The spray chamber and rough pump vent up to 20 liters/minute of nitrogen gas and vapor. The rough pump exhaust contains traces of solvent, sample, and hydrocarbon pump fluid. The mist filter on the rough pump traps the majority of the pump fluid vapor. It does not trap the traces of solvent and sample that may be present in the exhaust gases.

22 Agilent G6230AA/G6224AA TOF Site Preparation Guide Site Preparation

WARNING User safety requires that the spray chamber exhaust and the rough pump exhaust are vented externally to the building and not recirculated by the environmental control system. Exhaust gas venting must comply with all local environmental codes. Health hazards include chemical toxicity of solvents, samples, buffers, pump fluid vapor, and aerosolized biological samples.

WARNING Failure to vent the rough pump and spray chamber separately will void the warranty for the 6230/6224 TOF. Agilent service representatives will not install an Agilent 6230/6224 TOF until an adequate exhaust system is present and functioning. See the caution statement below for further details.

CAUTION The spray chamber exhaust and rough pump exhaust must be vented using separate lengths of exhaust tubing. These may be connected into a common exhaust manifold. This is to minimize the chances of rough pump fluid vapor entering the spray chamber when drying gas is not flowing.

The combined exhaust flow from the spray chamber and rough pump is up to 20 l/min of gas and vapor. Flow is continuous as long as the instrument is on. Both exhaust vents must be at or slightly below atmospheric pressure (negative pressure) with an exhaust flow of 20 l/min. If a negative pressure vent is not available, the length of the tubing from the rough pump and the drain bottle to the vent should each not exceed 460 cm (15 ft).

CAUTION Positive pressure in the spray chamber exhaust tubing and drain bottle can affect instrument performance and may contribute to excessive background contaminant levels.

Agilent G6230AA/G6224AA TOF Site Preparation Guide 23 Site Preparation

Nitrogen Gas Requirements The Agilent 6230/6224 TOF requires a very large quantity of high- purity nitrogen for drying gas, nebulizing gas, and to pressurize the calibrant delivery system.

WARNING Use only nitrogen for the drying and nebulizing gas. Use of air, oxygen, or other gases when combined with volatile solvents and high voltages in the spray chamber, could result in an explosion. Use of air, oxygen, or other gases may also cause deterioration of parts in the 6230/6224 TOF and have a negative effect on instrument operation and sensitivity.

Systems with G4240A HPLC Chip Cube source will need air to help lower NOTE background counts. See the section Special installation requirement for HPLC Chip Cube configurations.

Due to the large volumes of nitrogen required for instrument operation, the use of a nitrogen generator (gas separator) or a large (160 liters or greater) dewar of liquid nitrogen is recommended. Agilent Technologies offers several nitrogen gas generators well suited for use with the 6230/6224 TOF. See Appendix B on page 35 for more detailed information about these generators. Liquid chromatographs other than the Agilent 1100 or 1200 Series LC may require compressed gases for the LC autosampler and for sparging the LC solvents. If you are installing a liquid chromatograph other than the Agilent 1100 or 1200 Series LC, see the site preparation and installation material supplied with that LC.

WARNING Contact your gas supplier for handling and safety information for the gases you use. Compressed or liquefied gases can be dangerous.

Nitrogen purity for drying gas The nitrogen gas used for drying gas must be free of contaminants. Table 5 lists specifications for the nitrogen. Purity specifications vary according to the source of the nitrogen. This is due to the different types of contaminants common to different nitrogen sources. Bottled nitrogen tends to be contaminated with hydrocarbons which can severely degrade 6230/6224 TOF sensitivity. Even with the gas conditioner (purifier) supplied with the TOF, it is virtually impossible to remove all of the hydrocarbon contaminants if the bottled nitrogen is not at least 99.5% pure to start with. Oxygen is the primary contaminant of gas supplied by a nitrogen generator. Oxygen has less impact on 6230/6224 TOF sensitivity, and in some operating modes and certain applications may enhance sensitivity in small concentrations. Therefore, the purity specification for gas from a nitrogen generator can be less stringent.

24 Agilent G6230AA/G6224AA TOF Site Preparation Guide Site Preparation

A high-capacity gas conditioner is supplied with the 6230/6224 TOF. Its primary function is to remove hydrocarbon contamination from the nitrogen before it reaches the TOF system. This conditioner has 1/4- inch Swagelok fittings.

Agilent G6230AA/G6224AA TOF Site Preparation Guide 25 Site Preparation

Regulators, tubing, and fittings You must supply an appropriate regulator for your source of nitrogen gas. The regulator must be able to supply gas in the specified pressure range. It must have one outlet with 1/4-inch Swagelok fittings. Gas generators have built-in regulators so they do not require an external regulator. A dewar of liquid nitrogen typically requires a single-stage regulator (see the dewar manufacturer’s literature for specifics). Nitrogen from a house supply requires a single-stage regulator if the supply is at a pressure higher than the specified range. Bottled, compressed nitrogen typically requires a dual-stage regulator. See the Agilent Chemical Analysis Columns and Supplies Catalog (5988- 4970EN) for dual-stage regulators available from Agilent Technologies. The 6230/6224 TOF is supplied with 300 centimeters of heavy-wall 1/4-inch Teflon tubing to connect the nitrogen supply to the 6230/6224 TOF . You may need to supply additional heavy-wall 1/4-inch Teflon tubing if the nitrogen supply is located farther from the TOF system. You can substitute 1/4-inch medical-grade polypropylene tubing for the Teflon tubing. You must supply fittings, ferrules, and connectors of a Swagelok design for the 1/4-inch tubing.

Laboratory Supply Requirements Operating supplies Routine operation of the 6230/6224 TOF requires the following supplies: • Acetonitrile, pesticide residue analysis (PRA) grade or better • Methanol, PRA grade or better • Water, Nanopure/HPLC grade or better • Ammonium formate, 97% purity or better • Acetic acid, 99.7% minimum purity • Formic acid, 95% minimum purity

It is recommended that the highest grade solvents and chemicals available be NOTE used with the 6230/6224 TOF. Lower purity grades will result in higher background counts seen in the 6230/6224 TOF.

Cleaning solvents Cleaning tasks for the 6230/6224 TOF require the following HPLC- grade or better solvents: • Isopropyl alcohol • Methanol

26 Agilent G6230AA/G6224AA TOF Site Preparation Guide Site Preparation

• Water Proper storage, handling, and disposal of these chemicals is required for personal and environmental safety.

WARNING Contact your chemical supplier for solvent handling and safety information. Chemical solvents should be considered hazardous and must be handled with care.

Fume hood An auxiliary work space and fume hood are needed for some maintenance procedures.

Receiving the System When your 6230/6224 Accuate Mass TOF system is delivered, it is your responsibility to provide for removal of the shipping containers from the truck and their storage until installation. Contact your Agilent service representative as soon as your shipment arrives to arrange an installation date.

Delivery and unloading The TOF shipping containers are large and very heavy. Table 10 lists the dimensions and weight of the TOF base unit and TOF flight assembly shipping containers. Additional shipping containers contain the TOF shipping kit and PC data system.

Table 10 TOF Shipping Containers

Description Width Depth Height Weight TOF base unit 73 cm (28.74 in) 73 cm (28.74 in) 63 cm (24.8 in) 114.5 kg (252 lbs) TOF flight assembly 84 cm (33 in) 53 cm (21 in) 122 cm (48 in) 39 kg (85 lbs)

The shipping containers require a loading dock and a fork lift or similar lifting device. If no loading dock and/or suitable lifting device is available, the containers cannot be removed from the delivery truck. If you make prior arrangements with your Agilent service representative, the system can be delivered in a lift-gate truck. This removes the need for a loading dock, but a lifting device is still required to move the containers.

CAUTION The shipping containers must be kept upright at all times to prevent damage to the instrument. All doorways, hallways, floors, and elevators must be able to accommodate the largest, heaviest container.

Inspecting for damage Once the shipping containers are unloaded, examine them for any obvious external damage. If any of the containers appear damaged, note on the carrier's bill of lading that there is Apparent damage - subject to inspection and test. Arrange for both the carrier's claims representative and your Agilent Technologies service representative to be present when the containers are unpacked. Do not open any of the shipping containers unless a representative of Agilent Technologies is present. Opening any of the containers without an Agilent Technologies representative present will void the receiving warranty on the instrument.

30 Agilent G6230AA/G6224AA TOF Site Preparation Guide Site Preparation

Storage It is your responsibility to store the containers until installation. If your site does not have adequate storage space, the containers may be stored at your expense in a bonded warehouse. Allow space for data system and accessory containers too. The environment in the storage area should be between 5 °C and 50 °C (41 °F and 122 °F), 20% to 80% relative humidity, non-condensing and non-corrosive. There are chemicals that are shipped with the system that may also require refrigeration between 4 and 8°C. Additionally, some of these chemicals should not be exposed to tempeartures below 5°C (41 °F)

Unpacking Do not open any shipping containers until an Agilent representative is present. Warranty claims for missing items will not be honored unless an Agilent representative is present to verify the contents of each container as it is unpacked. With the exception of the flight tube shipping insert (part number G1969-60055), the actual shipping containers become your property and should not be returned to Agilent Technologies. The flight tube shipping insert should be returned to Agilent Technologies using the prepaid shipping paperwork included in the flight tube shipping box.

Agilent G6230AA/G6224AA TOF Site Preparation Guide 31 Site Preparation

Installation and Verification Installation Once the installation has begun, it should progress in a timely manner to completion. Delays due to inadequate site preparation could cause loss of instrument use during the warranty period. In extreme cases, Agilent Technologies may ask to be reimbursed for the additional time required to complete the installation. The 6230/6224 TOF base unit is too heavy (approximately 150 kg / 350 lb) to be lifted by one person. At least four people must be available to help lift the 6230/6224 TOF onto the laboratory bench. The primary user of the 6230/6224 TOF should be present during installation to receive familiarization instruction from the Agilent service representative.

Nitrogen Generator Considerations Installation is not included with the purchase of a nitrogen generator. If you do not want to install the generator yourself, you must purchase additional Agilent Customer Engineer time. An additional travel charge is required only if the nitrogen generator is ordered after the 6230/6224 TOF is installed. In addition, you are also responsible for the availability of compressed air to supply the nitrogen generator; including, if necessary, the installation of an air compressor. The air that is supplied to the nitrogen generator must be free of hydrocarbons. Please see Appendix B of this manual for additional information.

System Verification The final step in the installation process is system verification. Your Agilent service representative will test the system against Agilent standards as documented in the Agilent 6230/6224 TOF LC/MS System Installation Manual or in the installation guides for the for the 6230/6224 TOF accessories you have purchased. The Agilent service representative will not test your system against your standards or samples. Furthermore, the Agilent Customer Engineer will not set up your laboratory procedures. Assistance with laboratory procedures can be obtained from your local Agilent Applications Engineer (AE) on a consulting basis at an additional cost.

Appendix B: Nitrogen Gas Generators

Agilent Technologies offers several nitrogen gas generators that are well suited to supplying a 6230/6224 TOF with nitrogen. In these generators, clean, compressed air is passed through hollow-fiber membranes that separates it into a concentrated nitrogen output stream and an oxygen-enriched permeate stream. The nitrogen is supplied to the 6230/6224 TOF while the oxygen is vented from the generator.

Single-instrument gas generators Table 11 lists the physical and performance specifications for the Agilent nitrogen gas generator (5183-2003) and the Agilent nitrogen gas generator with oxygen analyzer (5183-2004). These gas generators can supply sufficient nitrogen for a single 6230/6224 TOF. The oxygen analyzer is especially helpful in negative ion APCI operation where small concentrations of oxygen can improve performance for some analyses. These two generators require up to 60 L/min of clean, oil-free air at a pressure of at least 760 kPa (110 psi). You must have either house compressed air or an oil-free air compressor that can meet these requirements. Each generator includes two pre-filters for removing particulates and excess water vapor from the air.

Table 11 Specifications for single-instrument nitrogen gas generators Nitrogen purity 95.0% - 99.5% 1 Minimum/maximum air input pressure 415/1000 kPa (60/145 psi) Max air consumption 60 l/min at 760 kPa (110 psi) 2 Dimensions (height x width x depth) 127 cm x 40 cm x 40 cm (50 in x 16 in x 16 in) Shipping weight 34 kg (75 lbs) Electrical power (5183-2003) none Electrical power (5183-2004) 100-120 or 220-240 Vac ± 10%, 50/60 Hz 1 Varies with the input pressure and output flow required.

Agilent G6230AA/G6224AA TOF Site Preparation Guide An Application Kit for the Screening of Samples for Analytes of Forensic Toxicological Interest using TOF or Q-TOF LC/MS with a Personal Forensic Toxicology Database

Application Note Forensic Toxicology

Authors Abstract

Peter Stone and Jerry Zweigenbaum A Forensic Toxicological screening application kit has been developed for use with Agilent Technologies, Inc. the Agilent TOF and Q-TOF Mass Spectrometers which contains an accurate mass 5301 Stevens Creek Blvd. database with a content of around 6700 analytes. The aim of the MassHunter Santa Clara, CA 95051 Personal Forensic Toxicology Database Kit is to provide a user with a sufficient USA starting point for the analysis of samples for which the ability to detect and identify from a large array of forensic toxicological analytes is necessary. The combined system allows the user to create custom databases containing retention times of compounds of interest for smaller and more specific suites of analytes according to specific requirements. A test mix containing analytes of forensic interest, to demon- strate the functionality of the MassHunter Personal Forensic Toxicology Database Kit, together with an example of a general screening method for common drugs of abuse is provided.

Single manual search of database using Agilent MassHunter Qualitative Analysis program To obtain a seamless single spectral peak database search via MassHunter Qualitative Analysis program, the database must be specified in the qualitative analysis method editor. Compatible software versions are B.03.01 or higher. Figures 4A through 4D illustrate the settings used for this example.

Figure 4a shows the typical MassHunter Qualitative Analysis program view containing the chromatographic peak in ques- tion together with its manually extracted spectrum. On the left side of the screenshot, the Identify Compounds method explorer options have been expanded and the Search Database method editor was selected. In the method editor, the required AMRT database was specified as forensic.cdb.

Figure 4B shows the mass tolerance window and the search criteria that can be selected, such as mass only or mass with retention time. Figure 4B. Manual search criteria settings.

6 Figure 4C illustrates more adduct and charge state options required for the database search.

Right-click in the spectrum window and a shortcut menu appears against the specified AMRT database (Figure 4A.) This menu has various options including Search database for spectrum peaks. Selection of this option automatically invokes the database search. In Figure 4D the spectrum peak has been identified as PCP, with 0.87 ppm mass deviation and a spectral combined score of 99.36 out of 100, indicating extra confirmation of identity.

To calculate this score, three distinct score components were considered: Mass Match, Abundance Match, and Spacing Match with values of 99.61, 98.61, and 99.79, respectively. These are individually displayed in Figure 4D.

For trustworthy results, the software scores the database matches based on the similarity of each of the isotopic masses (Mass Match), isotope ratios (Abund Match), isotope spacing (Spacing Match), and optionally the retention time (RT Match). Figure 4C. Manual Search Adduct selection.

Scoring based on Monoisotopic mass (varies in ppm)

Figure 4D. Manual database search results using Agilent MassHunter Qualitative Analysis program.

7 Isotope spacing is another important component of the scor- ing algorithm. The mass spacing from the M to the M+1 and M+2 isotopes can be measured with low-ppm accuracy. Any small mass shifts affect all isotopes equally, so this measure- ment is independent of overall mass axis shifts. This is outlined graphically in Figure 4D.

In this example, a single AMRT database result of phencycli- dine (PCP) was returned, together with its structure which is optionally overlaid on the peak spectrum as shown in Figure 4D and can be displayed if selected in the reporting options.

Such algorithms are extremely powerful, especially with complex data derived from difficult sample matrices, such as blood extracts. For the remainder of this application note, only batch searches invoked from inside the MassHunter Qualitative Analysis pro- gram interface will be outlined and described. For information on how to perform batch searches within the PCDL interface, please refer to the PCD application note [2].

Data mining algorithms such as MFE automatically search and mine complex sets of single-stage MS data to determine and distinguish most likely and real compound peaks from continuous background interferences. Combinations of adducts can be selected as part of the compound identifica- tion protocol to provide added assurance of compound validity.

No compound, mass filters or mass defect filters were speci- fied for this search and a maximum charge state of 1 was specified in the MFE method setup. The next step after MFE search was to specify the forensic toxicology AMRT database (Figure 6) in the identify compound/search database method editor, highlight all of the MFE-found compounds and search each compound against its content. A mass and retention time (RT) match was specified, since RT database values had already been pre-determined by analyzing individual standards and inserted into a customized compound database.

Reporting

Manual, MFE and FBF database searching all use the identical method of compound reporting options in the MassHunter Qualitative Analysis program software interface. Figure 11 details the reporting options which are based upon the standard compound report template CompoundReportWithIdentificationHits.xlsx. Under the General section of the method explorer, the 'Common report- Figure 11. Common compound reporting options for Manual/MFE/FBF ing options' link opens the corresponding method editor PCDL Searches. pane, shown on the left side of Figure 11. MassHunter Qualitative Analysis program treats search algorithm data and database searches as compound-centric data. Therefore, to report the results the appropriate compound report template must be chosen. In this example, the correct report template is displayed. 14 More specific content can then be specified by choosing the information required for the Forensic Toxicology screen report using the Compound Report options of the method editor (shown on the right in Figure 11).

Decisions about the report content are decided here. For example, if the check box for Exclude Details for Unidentified Compounds is activated, then only positive PCDL identifica- tions will be reported. The option to report compound extracted chromatograms, individual MS spectra, or summary results and individual compound tables is also determined from the compound report method editor.

Once all the correct settings have been achieved for the reporting of results, the green button (circled in Figure 12) activates the printing dialogue window which gives various options for directing the output of the data file results.

Time of Flight Mass Spectrometer (TOF) 1. Equipped with a high stability TOF mass analyzer

Yes, we comply. We propose Agilent 6230 TOF MS. More details about this system are included in the attached sales brochure. This system is known for its high stability because of its low thermal expansion flight tube design. To minimize mass error, which is introduced by room temperature variations, the flight tube material has to contain low thermal expansion rate material. The inner flight tube must be separated from outer flight tube using low vacuum to provide extra temperature stabilization for consistent mass accuracy. This system has ability to achieve steady mass accuracy without adding expensive temperature control systems in the operating room.

AGILENT 6230 TIME OF FLIGHT MASS SPECTROMETER

Agilent 6230 TOF MS comes with a proprietary ESI source called Agilent JetStream® (AJS) source whose design includes a single-bend, orthogonal ESI spray. Further details about Agilent JetStream ESI source is given below. All Agilent ion source designs include sprayers that are positioned orthogonal to the inlet of the mass spectrometer. The orthogonal spray helps to improve the signal/noise and minimize maintenance by keeping the system clean. The single- bend design minimizes ion losses for maximum sensitivity.

Jet Stream Ion Source Technology

Agilent Jet Stream thermal gradient focusing technology was developed to significantly enhance sensitivity in ESI-MS by improving the desolvation and spatial focusing of ions. Superheated nitrogen sheath gas confines the nebulizer spray to more effectively dry ions and concentrate them in a thermal confinement zone. Desolvation reduces noise. Full confinement of the spray by the superheated nitrogen gas eliminates sample recirculation and reduces peak tailing. Improved ion production results in higher MS and MS/MS signal intensities and improved signal-to-noise ratios. On average, a 5 to 10-fold improvement in MS and MS/MS sensitivity is realized by using Agilent Jet Stream technology versus standard ESI ionization. a. Mass measurement accuracy of <2.5 ppm

Mass accuracy of Agilent 6230 TOF MS is < 1 ppm exceeds the mass accuracy requirements. Please see the Data Specifications Sheet for details. b. Utilizes lock mass solutions for mass scale calibration accuracy of <1 ppm over a mass range of 50-2000 m/z
