- Description
- Description: THIS NOTICE IS PROVIDED FOR INFORMATION PURPOSES ONLY. THIS OPPORTUNITY IS AVAILABLE ONLY TO CONTRACTORS UNDER GENERAL SERVICES ADMINISTRATION, GSA FEDERAL SUPPLY SCHEDULE 66 - Scientific Equipment and Services The National Institutes of Health in Bethesda, MD intend to procure: A Array System + HTF and Assay Reader Wash Station specifications as follow: Unique Software Features: Instrument control software with integrated data analysis package. No export to third party software necessary for data reduction; Data reduction package including automatic and simultaneous calculation of unknown sample concentrations, standard deviation and coefficient of variation percentage for duplicate samples, and recovery values for standard curves (assessment of "goodness of fit"); Integrated data regression analysis including seamless implementation of StatLIA "weighted" 5 PL (parameter logistic) curve-fitting algorithm; Full menu of additional regression methods including 4PL, cubic spline, linear, and point-to-point curve fitting; Real-time data acquisition permitting display of multiplex data as it is generated, including bead map, single parameter histogram, bead flow rate, and median fluorescence intensity values for all analytes in each well; Raw data is collected and displayed well by well rather than at the conclusion of the read, allowing for data recovery should an unexpected event occur; Rerun/Recovery mode allows for complete rerun of all or a portion of samples; System monitoring of instrument functionality with error flags and available pause function enabling user intervention and troubleshooting in case of problems with low bead count, aggregated beads, classification efficiency, region selection, or platform temperature; Automation of commonly used functions such as start-up, calibration, washing, and shutdown; "One-click" data export to Excel providing tab-delimited version of generated data; Calibration, Validation and Instrument Operations Logs automatically generated, providing documentation of system maintenance, performance and operation, enabling enhanced troubleshooting; Calibration is available at optional "high PMT" setting for maximum system sensitivity; Validation Report feature for generating hard copy quality control and IQ/OQ (installation qualification/operational qualification) documentation; Grouping function simplifies analysis of data for which standards are not available, e.g., nucleic acid-based bead assays, providing automated ratiometric data output. Assay Reader Wash Station: Preloaded protocols developed for washing magnetic xMAP assays ( Assays and MagPlex micorosphere based assays). Eliminates the need to develop and optimize protocol; Start to finish wash protocols in less than four minutes; Consistent results from run to run. This procurement will be firm-fixed price and will be competed under pre-existing Multiple Award Federal Supply Schedule contracts. A competitive solicitation (RFQ) will be issued via GSA eBuy. This will be funded in whole by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009.
