Responses to this notice shall be submitted via email to: John.harrison2@va.gov Telephone responses shall not be accepted. Responses must be received no later than Monday, 07/07/2021 at 11:00 AM PST. If a solicitation is issued it shall be announced later, and all interested parties must respond to that solicitation announcement separately from the responses to this request for information. Responses to this notice are not a request to be added to a prospective bidders list or to receive a copy of the solicitation. Please provide unofficial pricing. Notice: No remanufactures or gray market items/ supplies will not be acceptable. Interested parties of RFI must be an authorized reseller, distributor, or dealer of the O.E.M. (Original Equipment Manufacturer). Verification can be provided by an authorization letter or other documents from the OEM. Equipment shall be in accordance with the OEM terms and conditions. Salient Characteristics The system should have the following salient characteristics: Single Cell Partitioning for Transcriptome Analysis: The Chromium Next GEM Single Cell Gene Expression assay enables single cell transcriptional profiling of up to millions of single cells. Single cell suspensions loaded onto the instrument are partitioned into GEMs, where transcripts are tagged with cell specific barcodes. The barcoded cDNA is then pooled for downstream processing and library preparation. In addition, the assay enables targeting using predesigned or customized gene panels, as well as simultaneous assessment of gene expression and feature profiling (e.g. cell surface proteins, guide RNA), enabling enhanced phenotypic profiling in thousands of individual cells. The Chromium Single Cell Gene Expression assay contains reagents to construct a library using the Feature Barcoding technology. However, compatible input materials, such as, cell surface proteins labeled with antibody-oligonucleotide conjugates, CRISPR transduced cells or any other products need to be prepared by the users. Our precise and efficient microfluidics allow 100- 80,000+ cells to be recovered in droplets in each 90,000 GEMs per channel in an instrument run time of 90,000 individual nanoliter-scale partitions leveraging ~3.6 million unique barcodes Capture cells at high efficiency up to 65% Low doublet rate of 0.9% per 1,000 cells. Achieve deep profiling of complex cell populations with high-throughput digital gene expression of individual cells Provide turn-key analysis pipelines and visualization software for novice and expert users alike Include a microfluidics chip that is compatible with a wide range of eukaryotic cell sizes and types (e.g. adherent cell cultures, suspension cell cultures, tissues, blood, etc.) Rapid time to lysis provides an accurate view of the transcriptome with minimal impact on expression Chromium Controller Specifications: Weight 12.5 lb (5.6 kg) Size (W X D X H) 7.9 x 10.3 x 6.4 in (20 x 26.3 x 16.4 cm) Electrical Requirements Nominal 100-240 Vac, 50-60 Hz, 15 W, from a standard 3- prong wall receptacle that includes a safety ground pin.
