Liquid Handling Instrumentation and Service Agreement (V) Item# Qty Description 001 2EA Liquid Handling Instrument 002 2YR Service Agreement Description - The instrument we need is used in pipetting microliter volumes of liquids. We require this instrument to accommodate 96 and 384 well plate patterns. It should have a platform base to support multiple microtiter plates. It should use disposable tips with aerosol barriers to prevent cross contamination of reagents used in DNA analyses. The volume should be manually adjustable and accommodate a range of volumes of 5 to 200 microliters. Since ease of use by a wide range of personnel is needed, manual adjustments and operation are preferred and not complicated systems requiring digital and/or microchip programming. Function/performance - The instrument will be used to aspirate and dispense molecular reagents at varying volumes. It will be used to aspirate and dispense reagents for PCR master mixes and enzyme-based assays. A x, y, and z movement capability is needed since we will use this instrument with multiple plates/dispensing regimes during one experiment. A reputable brand is highly desired since this instrument will be a substantial investment and be used in the development of methods for diagnoses of regulated pests. Characteristics/Specs - This instrument should operate within a precision of < 0.5% (200 microliters) and <3.5% (5 microliters) since procedures and protocols require accurate measurements. Because of space limitations we require an instrument with a foot print no larger than approximately 16 inches wide x 16 inches deep by 18 inches high in order to use this instrument in a clean hood environment.
