This antibody-based detection technology allows for a liquid sample to be analyzed on a nitro cellulose membrane in approximately 15 minutes. Due to their portable size and rapid results; LFIs are often used for presumptive biological agent detection in support of field operations. Respondents with interest, experience, and capability to develop and manufacture the above�mentioned detection capabilities are encouraged to respond. Specific functional capabilities include, but are not limited to, the following:� a) Program management to include experience in developing management and risk plans; b) Technical expertise in detection capabilities, specifically LFIs; c) A manufacturing facility that is temperature, humidity and environmentally controlled; d) Quality control and assurance that meet ISO 9001:2008 certifications and standards or equivalent.
