Description

The National Center for Foreign Animal Disease (NCFAD) requires a high-performance, high-speed benchtop centrifuge capable of pelleting highly specific sub-cellular fragments, nanoparticles, and low-density molecular materials. The centrifuge must meet mandatory technical criteria including a minimum RCF capability of 70,000 g, a speed of at least 30,000 RPM, and specific size constraints. Additional features include tool-free mechanical rotor coupling, microprocessor graphical interface, acoustic safety threshold, temperature regulation, electronic sensors for rotor symmetry, and reinforced protective steel shielding. The contract duration is estimated at 6 months and is reserved for holders of Supply Arrangement # E60PV-19EQUI for Laboratory and Scientific Equipment, Parts and Accessories, Services and Supplies.
