NIH Procurement of Human Humanin (MT-RNR2) ELISA Kits for Aging Research

The National Institutes of Health (NIH) Office of Logistics and Acquisition Operations (OLAO), under the Department of Health and Human Services and in support of the National Institute on Aging (NIA), is soliciting the purchase of Human Humanin (MT-RNR2) ELISA kits for research on aging and age-related diseases. - Government Buyer: - Department of Health and Human Services - National Institutes of Health (NIH) - National Institute on Aging (NIA) - Office of Logistics and Acquisition Operations (OLAO) - OEMs and Vendors: - The required kit is associated with part number CSB-EL015084HU, manufactured by CUSABIO (implied by part number, though not explicitly named in the documents) - Products/Services Requested: - 49 Human Humanin (MT-RNR2) ELISA Kits - Part number: CSB-EL015084HU - 96-well ELISA format - Measures humanin peptide (MT-RNR2) in human serum - Sensitivity below 7 pg/ml - Requires less than 50 ul serum per assay - Compatible with SpectraMax M2 Microplate Reader - Each kit assays 96 samples (including standards) - Unique or Notable Requirements: - Kits must be identical to those previously used in the HANDLS aging cohort studies to ensure continuity and comparability of research data - Delivery required within two weeks after order receipt - No alternative kits or OEMs are specified or permitted - Place of Performance/Delivery: - National Institute on Aging, Bethesda, MD - NIH OLAO, 6011 Executive Blvd., Suite 503L, Bethesda, MD 20892

Description

​​​​​​​Purchase Description:

Human putative humanin peptide (MT-RNR2) ELISA kits - 49 Kits

Salient characteristics

Human Humanin ELISA kit

-ELISA technology

-96 well format

-one kit assays humanin in 96 samples (including standards)

-measure humanin from human serum

-sensitivity to measure humanin at <7 pg/ml

-required volume of serum to be <50 ul

-compatibility to read absorbance on a SpectraMax M2 Microplate Reader

-for continuity of research we need to compare our new data to our previous results using the Human Putative humanin peptide (MT-RNR2) ELISA kits (CSB-EL015084HU).

-for the validity of the scientific research, data generated will need to be directly compared to those previously published in human aging cohorts. The human putative humanin peptide (MT-RNR2) (MT-RNR2) ELISA kits (CSB-EL015084HU) was used to assay humanin in human aging cohorts. Therefore for the validity and direct comparability of our results to our previous results and those previously published, the government requires this same kit to assay the levels of humanin.
