- Description
- The Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences (USUHS), the Department of Defense (DoD) Medical School and Health Sciences University, hereby announces its intent to acquire on a sole source basis with Eppendorf North America in Westbury, NY an Eppendorf Model epMotion 5075 VAC and dispensing tools. The epMotion 5075 VAC is a liquid handling robotic instrument/automated pipetting system used in molecular biology applications, more specifically in DNA/RNA purification and in Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR). The following are critical components of the epMotion 5075 VAC: 1)An integrated vacuum system in its platform. 2)The ability to use disposable tips for a range of volumes from 1ul to 1000ul. 3)Uses peltier cooling/heating devices (opposed to water baths). To ensure integrity of the experiments the lack of “carryover” contamination from sample to sample is paramount. The ability to use disposable tips over a wide range of volumes, the use of a “water free” environment for cooling or heating, and all necessary apparatus enclosed and integrated into the system’s computer/operational components significantly reduce the possibility of contamination. This award is IAW FAR Part 13.106-1(b)(1) and authorizes USUHS to award contracts when only one source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements. All inquires may be addressed to Nadine Utz, 4301 Jones Bridge Road, Room A1040C, Bethesda, MD 20814-4799 by 22 May 2008 at 12:00 p.m. All quotes must be valid thru 30 Sept 2008.
