PART 3 - DESCRIPTION/SPECIFICATIONS/WORK STATEMENT 3.1 This is a brand name requirement. The contractor shall provide for 40,000 reactions of FDA E. coli STEC/EHEC custom-specific reagent beads (custom-formulated primer and probe beads for the detection of E. coli EHEC/STEC by real-time PCR (polymerase chain reaction); and, 40,000 reactions of Cepheid OmniMixHS (a bead-formulated polymerase for use in real-time PCR). FDA E. coli STEC/EHEC custom-specific reagent beads are specially formulated beads containing 6 DNA oligonucleotide primers which target 3 genes from EHEC and STEC. This bead formulation also contain 6 fluorescently labeled "taq-man" probes for real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) detection of amplified gene targets; and, a propriety internal DNA control to assess gene amplification performance. OmniMixHS is a similarly formulated bead containing taq DNA polymerase and buffer components necessary for optimal amplification. When hydrated in the final PCR assay mixture, these primers, probes, buffer and polymerase components provide PCR amplification conditions necessary for maximum performance. 3.2 The bead reagent:: a. Shall contain oligonucleotide primers and taq-man probes for the specific and simultaneous amplification of multiple gene targets of E. coli Serotype O157:H7 in a multiplex reaction. Specifically, gene targets stx1 and stx2 genes and the +93 single nucleotide polymorphism in the uidA gene that encode for the β-D-glucuronidase (GUD) enzyme must be detected. The +93 SNP is highly conserved in O157:H7 and O157:H-strains that produce Stx and serves as an accurate identification marker for these pathogens. The real-time PCR assay shall also detect other STEC strains, some of which are known human pathogens. b. Shall be validated according to the general criteria defined for Category Three-Multiple Laboratory Validation (see attached document titled ORA-LAB.7: Qualitative Microbiology Methods Validation.). In addition, the following validation criteria shall also be met: i. The reagents shall be validated for use on the Cepheid SmartCycler II. ii. The proposed reagent bead must be validated for use with Cepheid OmniMix HS or SmartMix HM taq polymerase bead reagents. c. Stability data shall be provided to support reagent reliability in excess of 36 months at 4ºC. d. Shall include an internal control primer set that will not compete in with target gene amplification. Performance and stability data must be provided.
