Introduction- Miami ARS-SHRS plant genetics unit has an ION S5 PRIME SEQUENCER, serial number 2773922070534.� �This instrument is a cost-effective tool to prepare libraries for sequencing and is used for large projects to study genetic diversity in cacao and identify SNP markers associated with disease resistance genes in cacao.� The instrument produces read lengths longer than the Sanger sequencer and is useful in SNP discovery. General Statement of Work- The instrument is a Life Technologies Instrument and necessitates that Life Technologies conduct the maintenance, calibration and emergency services of the instrument.� A licensed Life Technologies technician will use proprietary Life Technologies calibration reagents to adjust the instrument and then the technician will perform the preventative maintenance required to keep the instrument in working status.�� The technician will conduct a series of tests to qualify the performance and operation of the instrument. All parts will be certified parts if there is a need for emergency service. Period of Service- The Life Technologies technician will need a day to complete the preventative maintenance of the instrument.� Emergency service times will vary depending upon the severity of the problem. Work Requirement- Miami ARS-SHRS plant genetics unit will require that this instrument is fully functional after the preventative maintenance.� The machine will be able to immediately run samples without error and the samples will produce accurate and reproducible results after calibration.
