Title- Protein Simple Milo System 2. Background Information: The Clinical Center at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) in Bethesda, Maryland, is the nation's largest hospital devoted entirely clinical research. It is a national resource that makes it possible to rapidly translate scientific observations and laboratory discoveries into new approaches for diagnosing, treating, and preventing disease. Approximately 1,500 studies are in progress at the NIH Clinical Center. Approximately, half of the studies are the first tests of new drugs or medical treatments in humans. The rest are natural history studies which include many rare diseases. These long-term studies lead to a better understanding of how diseases develop and result in improvements in prevention and treatment. 3. Purpose or Objective: Clinical Center has a clinical support team to address a procurement for the Milo Single Single-Cell Western System .Protein Cell is the only known vendor who is capable of providing the required equipment and system. this equipment. Milo, single-cell westerns system is an automated instrument that can measure protein expression in thousands of single cells in a single run, including cell surface marker and other markers that flow cannot process. Using this system, CCE will develop new protein detection protocol for CAR-T products and will be used for clinical lot release assay. 4. This new purchase will be used for follow assays: a. Measure proteins that don�t have good flow antibodies b. Simplify challenging flow assays (e.g., transcription factors) c. Measure protein isoform heterogeneity d. Analyze samples with low cell numbers (e.g., FACS-sorted cells or rare stem cells) e. Quantify transfection efficiency f. Reveal heterogeneity obscured by bulk Westerns g. Validate single-cell RNA data at the protein level 5. Delivery Date: after contract award CONTRACTOR REQUIREMENTS (SCOPE OF WORK) Vendor will provide the required deliverables of equipment to expand its current system capabilities and will seamlessly expand and integrate with existing system, components and equipment to allow the standardize its functionality of the system effectively.
