Description: The New Orbitrap Astral is a next-generation high-resolution, accurate-mass (HRAM) mass spectrometry system that integrates multiple patented technologies: the Orbitrap analyzer, high-selectivity quadrupole mass filter, and the novel Astral analyzer. This unique configuration provides unmatched performance in LC-MS/MS workflows, including: • Ultrafast MS/MS acquisition rates of up to 200 Hz • High mass resolution, reaching up to 480,000 at m/z 200 • Exceptional dynamic range exceeding 5000:1 • Compatibility with multiplexed quantification workflows, including TMTpro 18- and 35-plex reagents • High sensitivity, capable of identifying 6,500 protein groups from a single cell • High selectivity, enabling narrow-window DIA in challenging sample types such as plasma No other commercially available system matches this combination of speed, resolution, sensitivity, and throughput. Side 6 af 24 PRI currently already operates two Orbitrap Astral systems. Procuring an additional instrument from the same product family ensures full integration into existing workflows without the need for retraining staff or overhauling data pipelines. Introducing a different platform would result in significant technical and operational disruptions. Furthermore, Thermo Fisher Scientific holds exclusive rights to the patented technologies underlying the Orbitrap Astral system. These include a range of international patents that prohibit other manufacturers from offering systems with equivalent architecture or performance characteristics. As such, Thermo Fisher Scientific is the sole supplier legally and technically capable of fulfilling the requirements of this procurement.
