- Description
- The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), Agricultural Research Service (ARS), US Meat Animal Research Center, Clay Center, NE, intends to negotiate on a sole source basis to Agilent Technologies located in Wilmington, DE to purchase a Seahorse XFp Analyzer to measure both oxygen consumption and and energy use, in real time, in fresh cellular mitochondria preparations. A thorough study of known vendors that sell this kind of equipment was conducted through a web search, as well as, conversations with sales representatives. The Seahorse XFp, produced and sold exclusively by Seahorse Bioscience (A subsidiary of Agilent Technologies, Inc), is the only instrument available that is capable of measuring both oxygen consumption and energy use (glucose, glutamine, or fatty acids) simultaneously in fresh mitochondrial preparations. Our research in feed efficiency has led to a need to measure muscle mitochondrial efficiency and flexibility. This can only be done on fresh mitochondria preps, thus a simultaneous assay for both measures is needed. NOTE: THIS NOTICE WAS NOT POSTED TO FEDBIZOPPS ON THE DATE INDICATED IN THE NOTICE ITSELF (20-JUN-2017); HOWEVER, IT DID APPEAR IN THE FEDBIZOPPS FTP FEED ON THIS DATE. PLEASE CONTACT 877-472-3779 or fbo.support@gsa.gov REGARDING THIS ISSUE.
