- Description
- This is a PRE-SOLICITATION NOTICE of a proposed requirement to award one (1) Homogenizer System. This action also requires shipping and all necessary items to immediately start processing. # Description Est. Qty. Unit 1 Homogenizer Thermo Fisher Bead Mill 4 or equal 1 EA 2 Heracell VIOS 160i CO2 incubators or equal. 1 EA 3 Gas Guard 1 EA 4 Refrigerated table top centrifuge capable of processing cell culture, tissue samples and blood separation. Variable speed/force also required for processing multiple sample types. Need Tissue culture rotor adaptor package (item 5). 1 EA 5 Tissue adaptor set for use with item #4 Salient Characteristics Item #1 Homogenizer Thermo Fisher Bead Mill 4 or equal: Mixer/homogenizer capable of processing at variable speed/force for the extraction of multiple tissue and sample types in a variety of vessel sizes. Variable speed/force settings 30-150xg Sample volume 24 µl to 6ml Programmable settings allow for reproducible extraction of proteins and nucleic acids Interchangeable sample vessel sizes; 4 x 0.5ml, 4 x 1.5ml, 4 x 2.0ml and 1 x 7ml Dimensions 8.5 Wx11.5 Dx10 H or less Item #2 Heracell VIOS 160i CO2 incubators or equal: CO2 incubators for the culture of several mammalian cell types. Many of which are primary cells that have more stringent culturing conditions requiring the most stable temperature and CO2 levels. In addition some of these cells must be cultured without antibiotics requiring incubators that provide maximum contamination prevention. Solid copper chamber which eliminates microbial contaminants Active airflow to evenly distribute humidified air with equal to or less than 10 minute recovery if flow conditions ISO 5 HEPA filtration capable of cleaning room air in 5 minutes or less Protected humidity reservoir; limits particle contamination of reservoir, allows for condensation free chamber with 5x faster recovery In Situ sensors and probes for maximal stability of temperature and CO2 levels Steri-Run defection cycle; 180 C cycle assures uniform 6-log sterilization of all chamber surfaces and is completed in under 12 hrs. Stackable units with dimensions 22.7 Dx 35.6 Hx25.1 W (to fit into available space bldg. 13/217) Item #3 Gas guard Tank switcher for above incubators; required accessory to allow for multiple CO2 tanks to be attached and automatically change from empty tank to full tank. Item #4 Refrigerated table top centrifuge capable of processing cell culture, tissue samples and blood separation. Variable speed/force also required for processing multiple sample types. Need Tissue culture rotor adaptor package (item 5). Operating temperature range of -10 to +40 C with pre-cool function and double temperature management for air temperature and sample temperature Maximum RCF of 25,999xG Programmable memory; minimum 90 programs including in run time/speed adjustments Patented lid locking technology with snap on biocontainment seal system SMARTSpin technology for advanced rotor management to maximize acceleration, braking and load imbalances Auto-Lock rotor system for secure locking of rotor following installation or exchange Dimensions 23.8 Lx24.5 Wx14.2 (34.3 open)H to fit on bench in bldg13/217. Item #5 Tissue adaptor set for use with item #4 5/7ml tube adaptor necessary for tubes used to blood collection Shipping FOB Destination shall be included in the overall price.
