- Description
- The National Institutes of Health (NIH), Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD have a requirement to procure the following brand name instrument and components: 1.NanoSight LM10HSBF Nanoparticle Characterization System QUANTITY (1 ) EA, with the following features, etc: Present precision optics optimized for detection and visualization of nanoparticles and viruses of sizes approximate 10-1000 nm, material-dependentLong working distance x20 objective with magnification and working distance matched to the LM Sample viewing UnitOptical elements2x spare Viton O ringsFluorescence FiltersPower supply (Input 100-240V, 50/60Hz) 2. High Sensitivity EMCCD Camera QUANTITY (1 ) EA 3. LM14B Sample Viewing Unit QUANTITY (1) EA, with the following features:Integrated blue laser (405nm) illuminationSlide-interlock sample viewing unitSample chamber with Luer inlet and outlet portsIntegrated temperature control. Peltier element PID feedback (15-55 degC; accuracy <1degC) 4.Computer control unit, pre-loaded with NanoSight NTA 2.0 Analytical Software Suite plus 22 flat display screen QUANTITY (1) EA 5. Polystyrene latex spheres in sizes 100,200 & 400 nm (stock solutions) QUANTITY (1) EA 6.Installation and Training QUANTITY: 1 CHARGE The Nanosight LM10-HS is the only commercially available particle analyzer that uses Nanopaticle Tracking Analysis (NTA) to size individual particles based on their diffusion coefficient, providing accurate, high-resolution sizing data by number distribution, as well as count/concentration measurements and visual confirmation of data analysis. This instrument can also be used for fluorescence measurements. As it provides a direct measurement, no calibration is necessary, although standards are available to verify performance. This is an absolute method, no refractive index or density information for particles is required to generate size distributions. The high-resolution data are obtained without the need for modeling or mathematical curve fitting. Basis for Award: Offerors must provide descriptive literature or other material that demonstrates their offer meets the forgoing requirements with their RFQ response. The contract will be awarded to the responsible offeror whose offer fully meets the requirements of the solicitation and provides the best value to the Government. Offerors may request a copy of the Request for Quotation (RFQ) package via email to: robinsti@mail.nih.gov prior to the closing date of this notice or before July 19, 2011 @ 10:00 am EST. It is anticipated that RFQ - NICHD2011110 will be available seven (7) days after the publication date of this synopsis. Receipt of quotations will be due seven (7) days after the release of the RFQ. All requests for quotations must have a valid email address. Email quotations must contain offerors name, address, telephone number and an authorized company representative signature. If you have any question regarding this announcement, please contact Tina Robinson via email and the solicitation# NICHD2011110 must be included on the subject line of the email. PLEASE NOTE: In order to receive an award, contractor must be registered and have valid certification in the Central Contractor Registration (CCR) http://www.ccr.gov.
