This is NOT a solicitation for proposals, proposal abstracts, or quotations. The purpose of this notice is to obtain information regarding the availability and capability of all qualified sources to perform a potential requirement.

No award will be made as a result of this notice. The Government will NOT be responsible for any costs incurred by the respondents to this notice. This notice is strictly for research and information purposes only. Background: We have an old model of plate reader that has been worked for over 15 years. It is not in good condition and constantly generates problems. We urgently need a replacement plate reader to maintain our normal lab function. Purpose and Objectives: The purpose of this acquisition is to purchase the Enspire multimode plate reader to perform the various biochemical assays currently on going in our lab including protein assays, elisa assays, NaK Atpase assays etc. The equipment is needed to read absorbance at different wavelength and fluorescent signal.
