- Description
- This amendment of the combined synopsis/solicitation is intended to respond to questions from companies that have expressed interest in supplying the required items. Question #1: Prices required are C&F Almaty Port or prices quoted should be DDU Almaty that is inclusive of all custom duties, VAT, and local taxes. Answer: Prices are exclusive of all custom duties, VAT and local taxes in Almaty and Tashkent. Question #2: For the water purification system we need to know whether the source of water is this from tap water? Answer: Yes, the source will be tap water. Question #3: Regarding the purity level, are you looking for ultrapure water? Answer: Yes, we are looking for the analytic grade ultra pure water, that will be used for preparation of buffer solutions. Question #4: Please provide us specs for the incubator the height, width, length and number of shelves. Answer: It should be a Low-Temp incubator that could maintain temperature from 22 to 45C and hold at least 4 immunologic plates. It should be either a shaking platform-incubator, or compatible with a shaking platform (inside or outside). Question #5: Please provide the specs for a high-speed centrifuge. Answer: We need a centrifuge for serum separation: separation of serum from blood cells for further analysis of the serum by an immunologic method. This amendment also makes changes in the List of Laboratory Equipment required for each of twenty-seven laboratories: delete - 1 Microplate Universal Photometer; add - 1 Automated Microplate Washer, add (5).
