NISC is a centralized research facility for performing high-throughput, large-scale DNA sequencing and sequence analysis. NISC is in need of an instrument that will reduce hands-on time to less than 10- minutes compared to more than 6 hours for the emulsions PCT-based protocols. The cBot is an automated clonal amplification system that creates clonal clusters from single molecule DNA templates. The c-bot sequencing technology provides an easy-to-use protocol that does not require emulsion PCR which allows for a self-contained system that minimizes handling errors and contamination concerns, eliminating the need for robotics or clean rooms. The cBot system has pre-configured reagents which help reduce contamination and preparation time. Product Description : cbot Cluster Generation System, Catalog Number: SY-301-2002, Quantity One (1) Each. The cbot Cluster Generation system includes a touch screen monitor, computer, and twelve month warranty on parts and labor. This system must be compatible with Illumina HiSeq 2000 System and Illumina's GAllx Sequencer.TRADE IN: Cluster Station, Serial Number: 100101, Model 408, NIH Number: 01676713. The trade-in must be addressed in proposal in order to be considered for the award. Cbot System : • Amplify greater than 96 samples in 4-5 hours with less than 10 minutes of hands-on time. • Straightforward protocols that require no beads or emulsions. • Simple touch-screen interface to operate machine. • Reagents are in convenient volumes and are ready-to-load. • Oil is not required for the optics. Inspection and Acceptance Requirements : • The Contractor will deliver an undamaged package upon arrival of equipment to the required destination. • The Contractor will ensure installation of the equipment, all parts including computer must be functional and running in proper order.
