- Description
- The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), Agricultural Research Service (ARS) intends to award a sole source contract to Meso Scale Discovery, LLC located in Gaithersburg, MD for Catalog # 2400 SECTOR CCD Imager. The requirement is for the SECTOR CCD Imager 2400, a cooled CCD detection camera with telecentric lens with the ability to read 24 sectors per 96 well plate, capable of reading 96 and 384 well plates with a read time of 3.5 minutes per plate. This features two-dimensional motion control for plate movement and functional detection limit of binding assays at about 106 of labels, with dynamic range of assays of 105. The dual, internal barcode reader is for sample and plate management and unit is benchtop size - no larger than 27 inches x 31 inches and no higher than 30 inches. This instrument is the only system that uses multiplex plates coupled with an electrochemical detector for the analysis of analytes in biological samples. This feature is necessary as it is the only method that can ensure the level of accuracy required by the Government. The requirement includes installation and limited one-year warranty, data analysis software (installed on the instrument PC), computer XP Pro SP2 and flat screen monitor, UPS uninterruptible power supply, robotic/manual adaptor, and stack tube (20-30) plates. This must be compatible too read off-the-shelf multiplex assay kits with CRP, ICAM-1, serum amyloid a, Vcama-1, IL-1beta, IL-6, IL-8, and TNF-alpha with an electrochemiluminescence assay signal. Assays may not be bead-based. No other kits are compatible with this equipment. Meso Scale Discovery, LLC is the only distributer of this product. Anticipated Date of Award: 04/08/2011
