- Description
- The National Institutes of Health (NIH), National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) plans to procure a SpectraMax? M5 Multimode Plate Reader w/softmax pro (MOL D M5); PC Laptop Bundle (MOL. D03104874 and Training. The Molecular Devices SpectraMax M5 is the only microplate reader with the following performance specifications: Must have a 3 mode (Abs, Fl, Lum) cuvetter port and 6- to 384- well microplate capabilities for all 5 modes (ABS, Fl, TRF, FP, Lum). Must read absorbance in standard, commercially-available cuvettes and microcuvettes, 12 X 75 mm test tubes, and 96- or 384-microplates with a built-in cuvette port and a microplate drawer in the reader and performed with a single wavelength selection. Must use a Xenon flash lamp for longer lamp lifetime. Must have Dual monochromators for tunable FP wavelength selection between 400 nm and 750 nm for excitation and emission wavelengths. Must have Dual Monochromators for tunable, Fl, TRF wavelength selection between 250 nm and 850 nm for excitation and emission wavelengths and tunable luminescence between 250 nm and 850 nm. Must have tunable absorbance wavelength selection between 200 nm and 1000 nm. No filters are required for purchase in the future when additional assays are added to laboratory. Must have both top and bottom reading optics for improved sensitivity in cell-based assays such as chemotaxis membrane migration assays. Must have a 4 nm absorbance bandwidth for superior peak resolution and increased accuracy of measurements for narrow bandwidth for superior peak resolution and increased accuracy of measurements for narrow bandwidth samples. Must have fixed fluorescence spectral bandwidth of 9 nm excitation and 15 nm emission for improved resolution between EX/EM components. Software must offer a common file format that allows data files to be edited, saved, and shared by users on both Windows XP and Macintosh OS X, provided on one CD-ROM. Software must have ability to design custom assay protocols or customize existing protocol to create meaningful reports, graphs, and multi-plate summaries, including data trend analysis. Software must allow for the ability to auto save multiple copies of assays data in all desired formats: SoftMax Pro native; .TXT files; .XML files and .PDF files (Max OS X). Software must allow the following data analysis tools: Simultaneous evaluation of multiple standard curves; Ability to easily graph multiple plots on multiple graph sections; 4- and 5-parameter curve fitting with parallel line analysis; BOOLEAN operators If, And, Or, Not, False, True and Auto-repair of broken formula links. Software must support regulatory compliance requirements such as FDS 21CFR part 11, GLP, GMP, etc (collectively referred to as GXP). The solicitation will be issued on or about March 25, 2007 and offers will be tentatively due about 10 days after the solicitation release date. The acquisition will be conducted under the simplified acquisition procedures authorized in FAR Part 13. The acquisition will be set-aside for small businesses. The Standard Industrial Classification Code is 334516 and the business size standard is 500. Potential offerors may request a copy of the solicitation from V. Lynn Griffin at the address listed in this notice or by fax on (301) 480-8501. Please reference the solicitation number, NIH-NIDDK-07-186, on your written request. Questions on this notice may be addressed to V. Lynn Griffin on 301-594-7730 or on the fax number provided above
