These two pieces of equipment are used to interrogate genes that are important for the infection of human cells by several different viruses, genes associated with aberrant replication of DNA, and genes associated with rescuing the expression of proteins down-regulated in the context of certain rare diseases. NCATS continues to require this service agreement so that the existing ImageXpress Micro Units are properly maintained for continued usage by the DPI. The service agreement for the ImageXpress Micro Units includes the following: - preventative maintenance inspection. - examination of all functioning parts, thorough cleaning, proper lubrication, replacement or repair of worn or unserviceable parts. - adjustment and calibration made the instrument in order to maintain the manufacturer's original specifications - all required replacement parts and labor at no additional cost to the Government, with the exception of consumable parts. -three to five day on-site response time.
