The platform must be able to generate libraries that can be sequenced on either the Illumina or Applied Biosystems sequencing platforms, both of which are present in the lab. On-going experiments require the platform to be capable of generating libraries from Agilent SureSelect custom and All-Exon products and up to 96 libraries in a single run in order to maintain sequencing workflows. The Bravo liquid handling platform is the only platform able to: run robotic scripts capable of generating 96 sub-genome libraries in a single run run pretested robotic scripts capable of generation libraries using the SureSelect chemistriesrun robotic scripts capable of generating sub-genome libraries suitable for both the Illumina and Applied Biosystems sequencing formatsrunning the required scripts and protocols immediately upon installation and is the only platform available that meets this requirement Interested firms with the capability of providing the required products are requested to submit a capability statement to assist the Government in determining in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 19.502-2(b) whether or not this procurement will be set-aside for any of the programs described above.
