To achieve this goal, it is crucial to study the expression and regulation of relevant biomarkers involved in the maternal and fetal diseases. Immunoassays are utilized to measure biomarkers concentrations in the biofluids such as maternal blood, cord blood and amniotic fluid. Currently the lab has a multiplex immunoassay platform Luminex 100, which can run multiple assays simultaneously to minimize consumption of sample volume and reduce assay cost. However, now an upgraded Milliplex FlexMP 3D is necessary and to 1) keep the consistency of scientific data by using the same platform; 2) increase cost-effectiveness via using multiplex immunoassays; 3) save sample volume to maximize sample usage. The FlexMAP utilizes the latest multiplexing system launched utilizing proven xMAP Technology. Some significant features not seen before in previous Luminex systems are: •Increased Multiplexing w/up to 500 analytes per well • Versatile platform which can be used for a variety of applications including but not limited to, immunoassays, genotyping, gene expression or enzyme assays in a 96 or 384 well format •Improved accuracy w/4.5 logs of dynamic range (4-800,000 MFI) •Higher Throughput - Fast turnaround time w/a dual syringe configuration, 96 well plate in less than 20 minutes, 384 well plate in 1 hour, 15 minutes •State-of-the-art Software based on xPONENT 4.0 Software Solutions, Automation and LIS interface compatible, 21 CFR part 11 compatible upgrade •Ease of use w/enhanced usability and walk-away time for maintenance and calibration functions The offeror must include a completed copy of the provision of FAR Clause 52.212-3, Offeror Representations and Certifications - Commercial Items with its offer.
