OBJECTIVE: The objective of this requirement is to acquire a brand name or equal Molecular Devices Spectramax ID3 Microplate Reader System. REQUIREMENTS: The required Microplate Reader System must possess the following salient characteristics: • The multimodal plate reader must be smaller than or equal in size to the Molecular Spectramax ID3 Microplate Reader System. (21x24x16in) • The multimodal plate reader must include everything needed for absorbance, fluorescence and luminescence measurements in a compact footprint with a touchscreen panel and no external computer requirements. • The multimodal plate reader must possess the PathCheck Sensor for temperature independent, accessory-free sample pathlength measurement, allowing measurements without standard curves. This is an essential feature in CCR's 3D and zebrafish studies. • The multimodal plate reader must possess Ultra-cooled PMT to achieve enhanced sensitivity for luminescence based applications. • The multimodal plate reader must possess AutoPMT capabilities for unparalleled dynamic range on each plate without the need to reread the samples. • The multimodal plate reader must possess network connectivity to run multiple instruments from one workstation. Data is automatically delivered to workstations, eliminating the need to retrieve data directly from the instrument. DELIVERY / INSTALLATION Delivery Schedule Item shall be delivered within 4-6 weeks of purchase order award. Delivery POC: TBD at Award Delivery Address: TBD at Award TRAINING Training on site for staff on the operation of the microplate reader upon installation. DELIVERY POINT: All information furnished must be in writing and must contain sufficient detail to allow the NCI to determine if it can meet the unique specifications described herein. All questions must be in writing and should be emailed to Ricky Watson, Contract Specialist at ricky.watson@nih.gov.
