- Description
- USDA, ARS, Pullman, WA intends to award a sole source purchase order to ProtienSimple, 3001 Orchard Parkway, San Jose, CA for an Fully Automated Western Blog System. As far as we are aware: The Wes Western blot system from ProteinSimple is a fully automated and complete solution for protein detection that performs all of the manual processes associated with a traditional Western blot. The Wes technology is unique as it can perform protein sizing, quantitation and immunodetection of proteins in a patented nano-immuno assay system. It has the ability to perform true quantitation of protein in a highly reproducible and timely manner. Wes can detect proteins at low (picogram) levels and has the unique ability to perform fully automated size-based separation while consuming very small (nanoliter) amounts of test material. The system can run up to 25 samples simultaneously in as little as 3 hours producing fully analyzed data upon completion of each run. Wes uses 25 individual capillaries that employ a patented inner coating to allow separation, capture and covalent immobilization and subsequent immunodetection of proteins from a wide variety of species samples. No other technology combines this unique method of physical separation and immunoassay detection in a nanoscale volume. ProteinSimple's included Compass software will allow complete electronic analysis of data, eliminating the need for costly films and scanners. Wes also has a small bench-top footprint, enabling conservation of precious laboratory space. The USDA is looking to find other potential distributers of the mentioned item that can meet our need. If you carry a similar product please submit product specifications to the below contact for consideration. Our justification to award is in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 6.302-1 - Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements. All inquiries on this action can be submitted in writing via email to brian.fien@ars.usda.gov NO LATER THAN 26 May 2016 @ 2:30PM PST. All information shall be furnished at no cost or obligation to the Government.
