The lab studies mechanisms of reactions that impact the stability of the linear organization of the genome, as well as the 3-dimensional dynamics involved in the heritance of bacterial chromosomes. In order to study the mechanism of intra-cellular spatio-temporal organization of cytological processes involving molecular pattern self-organization reactions in cell division controls, the tools needed include a syringe pump to control flow delivery in microfluidic systems for our newly acquired fluorescence microscope system. Currently, the Lab has a requirement for a syringe pump (one base module, to pump modules, control software plus two syringes) to control flow delivery in microfluidic systems for our fluorescence microscope system. This system will be a part of a new fluidic system, which will be integrated into our new Nikon lens-TIRF microscope system and is designed to duplicate our current micro-fluidic liquid handling systems we are using on our existing home-assembled prism-TIRF microscope systems, for which we have developed controlling protocols for a variety of experiments we perform using our existing syringe pump systems. Our experiments require pulse-free sample delivery down to sub-microliter per min delivery rate using 1 ml syringes. Our current application is incompatible with pneumatic microfluidic pumping systems or pumping systems involving in-line flow rate monitoring/feedback and requires capability to incorporate additional pumping modules that can be coordinately computer controlled by the software supplied when such needs arise.� The two other microscope systems in our lab are already set up with an existing pump system and it is critical for this current pump system purchase to be compatible with the same control program. In addition, we require that this independently and coordinately controllable multi-channel pumping system be able to fit into a tight space right next to the microscope stage with minimum length of connecting tubing to the micro-flow cell on the microscope stage. 3.0�� �OBJECTIVE The objective of this purchase request is to purchase a syringe pump system (one base module, two pump modules, control software, plus two syringes) in order to duplicate our current micro-fluidic liquid handling systems we are using on our existing home-assembled prism-TIRF microscope systems. The vendor shall provide one year of warranty for technical equipment (from date of shipment). The purchase of this system does not include installation service(s). 4.0 �� �SALIENT / REQUIRED FEATURES AND SPECIFICATIONS 1)�� �Must have a modular design and include a controlling software, two pumping modules, expandable of expansion up to four pumping modules in future if needed, and a control interface module, if required. 2)�� �Must be able to generate pulse-free flow using 1 ml syringes down to at least 0.25 ?l/min or lower flow rate. 3)�� �Must be supplied with a controlling software capable of independently and coordinately controlling the flow rate combinations of all the pumping modules involved in the system based on either pre-programmed patterns or real time on demand switching of the flow rate combinations, and unlimited software updates included. 4)�� �Can operate at least at up to 10 Bar of pressure. 5)�� �The flow rate range of each pump module when used with a 1 ml syringe should cover at least 1 nl/min to 1 ml/min. 6)�� �Supplied with two each of 1 ml precision syringes suitable for the performance of the pump, up to 10bar max, 1/4-28UNF female thread outlet connection, �and other compatible precision syringe sizes from 0.1 ml to 5 ml must be available. 7)�� �The footprint of the pumping system with two pump modules including the control interface module, with horizontal pump mounting must fit within 320 x 220 mm, and with two additional pump modules fitting within 320 x 340 mm. 8)�� �This pumping system must not require in-line flow rate monitoring/feedback system to deliver the specified pulse-free flow requirement. 9)�� �Pneumatic microfluidic pumping systems are not suitable for the current application and will not be considered. 6.0�� �PURCHASE ORDER TYPE This Purchase Order is to be a firm fixed price.� 7.0�� �INSPECTION AND ACCEPTANCE Inspection and acceptance will be performed at the place of installation/upon delivery of service - National Institutes of Health, NIDDK, NIH main campus, in Bethesda, MD 20892.
