Teledyne Instruments is the manufacturer and distributor of the Teledyne ISCO Rf Plus Lumen UV/ELSD and the Teledyne ISCO MASS SPEC WITH FLUID INTERFACE. NIDA's current flash chromatography data has been generated using the Teledyne automated systems and a system change (different manufacturer) could negatively impact the results of ongoing projects and scientific research current in progress at the NIDA Drug Design and Synthesis Section (DDSS) laboratory. In addition, all peripherals and consumables are freely interchangeable with any of the Teledyne flash systems. Another manufacturer's consumables could potentially void the warranty or existing equipment if it is interchanged with another manufacturer's chromatography system. Thus, there are no other contractors capable of meeting the Government's requirements. The intended source is: Teledyne Instruments Inc. 4700 Superior Street Lincoln, NE 68504-13289 CLOSING STATEMENT THIS SYNOPSIS IS NOT A REQUEST FOR COMPETITIVE PROPOSALS.
