- Description
- The Department of Veterans Affairs, Central Arkansas Veterans Healthcare System R&D Service intends to negotiate on a sole source basis with Life Technologies, Inc. for the procurement of an Ion GeneStudio S5 Plus System, components, install kit, training and supporting kits. In order to be determined capable, potential vendors must have the specified equipment noted below, with the salient characteristics noted as follows: Sequencer must be a next-generation benchtop instrument that uses semiconductor sequencing technology in a massively parallel array environment. Sequencer utilizes semiconductor sensors with integrated fluidics that allows reagents to flow over the sensor arrays. The combination of fluidics, micromachining and semiconductor technology allows direct translation of DNA genetic information to digital information in a small chip. Sequencer must not require complex optics (e.g. NO fluorescence, cameras, lasers, LEDs, or optical elements). Sequencer must be capable of performing small-RNA and whole transcriptome sequencing, high-quality exome sequencing, targeted sequencing with AmpliSeq technology, & de novo sequencing utilizing scalable semiconductor chips. Sequencer must be compatible with Ion Chef, an automated library preparation system used to prepare libraries, sequencing templates, and semiconductor chip loading. Sequencer must have a small footprint that fits in a 5 sq. ft. area and weighs less than 150 lbs. so that it can sit on a laboratory benchtop. Sequencer shouldn t require connections to external gas or water sources.
