Polytechnique Montréal seeks an Eppendorf DASGIP-type platform with four parallel bioreactors

Polytechnique Montréal is seeking a parallel bioreactor platform for controlled mammalian-cell process development. - Buyer: École Polytechnique (Polytechnique Montréal), Department of Chemical Engineering. - Intended supplier: Eppendorf Canada Ltd.; the requested platform is an Eppendorf DASGIP-type system. - Equipment: One platform containing four autoclavable glass bioreactors for simultaneous fed-batch cultures, including CHO cells. - Required functions include mechanical agitation, gas control, liquid feeding, pH and dissolved-oxygen monitoring, and exhaust-gas analysis. - Must accommodate Endress+Hauser Raman RXN10 probes and integrate with the Raman RXN2 system, including OPC UA support for third-party signals. - Controller must be compatible with glass or single-use plastic bioreactors and support DASware process-development and scale-up capabilities. - Services: Delivery, installation, calibration, and research-staff training at the CNRC Royalmount site in Montréal. - Notable requirement: The notice states an intention to procure from Eppendorf, citing compatibility with existing Eppendorf systems, process transfer, Raman integration, space constraints, and control and reproducibility needs.

Description

Polytechnique Montréal plans to acquire a parallel multi-bioreactor platform with an exhaust-gas analyzer, including four autoclavable glass bioreactors for mammalian-cell cultures. The equipment must support simultaneous fed-batch operation, process control and monitoring, and integration with Raman probes and the Raman RXN2 system. The scope includes delivery, installation, calibration, and training for research staff at the CNRC Royalmount site in Montréal. Polytechnique states that it intends to award the contract exclusively to Eppendorf; written responses demonstrating compliance with the requirements are due by the stated response deadline.
