Description

Statement of Work Forensic Instrument Brand Name or Equal to Promega, Maxwell (R) 16 Salient Characteristics • High Yield and Purity: The system shall use a magnetic-particle handling system that processes samples using reagent kits, providing high yield and purity. Even with compromised casework samples, the instrument should be able to extract clean DNA and RNA. • Set-up and Operation: The system should provide everything for extraction, including pre-filled reagent, specialized disposable plastics and easy-to-understand instructions. The order shall provide enough disposables for demonstration purposes. No separate computers or advanced training should be required to operate the instrument. The system needs to be able to track samples with a bar-code reader to track your workflow from start to finish. • No Detectable Cross-contamination: The system design shall not allow for cross-contamination of samples. Furthermore, it shall include technology that avoids common problems associated with automated extraction systems, such as clogged tips and partial reagent transfers. • Fast Extraction: The system shall be able to extract between 8 and 16 samples during one run in no longer than 1 hour. • Sample Size: The system needs to be able to work with large or small samples: Standard Elution Volume (SEV) (a.k.a. large samples) 300-400 µl or Low Elution Volume (LEV)(a.k.a. small samples) 50-100 µl. • Forensic Use: System needs to be verified/validated for forensic (casework) samples. • Sample Tracking: System must allow for sample tracking from start to finish. Data reports for every run must be exportable or printable.
