- Description
- This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items prepared in accordance with the format in Subpart 12.6, as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; proposals are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued. US Army has a requirement for a neon transfection system: a device for transfection of nucleic acids into difficult-to-transfect cells including stern cells and retinal pigment epithelium derived from stem cells. It is for a lab at Ft. Sam Houston, TX. Minimum Essential Characteristics (MECs): Brand Name or Equal. A device for transfection of nucleic acids into difficult-to-transfect cells including stern cells and retinal pigment epithelium derived from stem cells 1) Must be able to efficiently transfect nucleic acids into cells that are typically difficult to transfect; i.e. stern cells. 2) Must require low cell numbers of difficult to growl slow growing cells; i.e. stem cells, retinal pEgment-epritheliurn derived-ffom stern-cells, and primary cells 3) Must be able to transfect cells with minimal cytotoxicity. 4) Must use reagents with one year shelf life at room temperature. 5) Must have adjustable electroporation parameters to optimize conditions according to cell type and nucleic acid payload. 6) Must use a biologically compatible pipette tip chamber that generates a more uniform electric field. This design allows a better maintenance of physiological conditions resulting in very high cell survival compared to conventional electroporation. 7) Must use a simplified transfection kit compatible with all cell types. 8) Must allow a simplified three step transfection procedure as opposed to complicated and cumbersome transfection procedures that increase the likelihood of contamination.
