Description

Need Description: Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) instrument package, including installation, 96 well plate block, 384 well plate block, portable analyzing laptop, analyzing software, warranty, training and maintenance. Salient Characteristics (description of physical, functional, or performance features): 1.) Optical System & Multiplexing: The system must feature an advanced optical system utilizing a minimum of six (6) excitation and six (6) emission filters, capable of yielding up to 21 distinct filter combinations to support high complexity multiplexing experiments. 2.) Interchangeable Block Architecture: The system must utilize a single base unit that supports user-interchangeable 96-well and 384-well blocks. The system must allow users to shift between formats without requiring the purchase of two separate machines or requiring factory recalibration upon swapping. 3.) Reagent Compatibility: The system must possess native, out-of-the-box compatibility with existing laboratory inventories of TaqMan assays and SYBR Green chemistries without requiring protocol modifications. 4.) Onboard Operational Control: The instrument must possess an independent, onboard touchscreen/interface allowing users to fully adjust and initiate experimental setups directly on the machine 5.) Data Processing & Portability: The system must include a dedicated, pre-configured portable control laptop loaded with comprehensive analysis software capable of automated relative quantification and data normalization, allowing personnel to review data outside of restricted lab spaces. 6.) Standardization & Data Continuity: The system's algorithms and optical baselines must match the existing QuantStudio platform already in use. The system must allow longitudinal data comparison without requiring the Government to conduct costly and time-consuming bridging studies. 7.) OEM Lifecycle & Service Support: The procurement package must include OEM-certified professional installation, comprehensive hands-on site training, OEM-level service guaranteeing direct hardware/software synchronization, instrument calibration, and proprietary part replacement.
