Technical Point of Contact Name: Cynthia Tatta Section: Research S/L Address: 3495 Bailey Avenue Buffalo, NY 14215 Phone Number: 716-862-6524 Fax Number: 716-862-6526 E-Mail Address: Cynthia.tatta@va.gov 2. Contract Title: Agilent BioTek Synergy HTX Multi-Mode Microplate Reader and Thermo Scientific NanoDrop One Microvolume UV-Vis Spectrophotometer 3. Background. This effort is required to accomplish Specific Aims of a VA Merit Award (BLRD) to the Principal Investigator (Zhen Yan, PhD). The Agilent BioTek Synergy HTX multimode reader combines versatility and performance for many key end point and kinetic applications with UV-Vis absorbance and filter-based fluorescence and luminescence, including Protein quantification, Enzyme kinetics, ELISAs, Cytotoxicity, Cell proliferation, Drug absorption and metabolism. The Thermo Scientific NanoDrop One Microvolume UV-Vis Spectrophotometer is a high-performing and popular instrument designed for determining the average concentration of DNA or RNA in a sample. It uses the optical technology, UV-Vis measurement, to accurately quantify the amount of nucleic acids in a sample. Without these instruments, it is impossible to compare differential expression of proteins and nucleic acids (RNA & DNA) in diseased brain samples. 4. Scope. The scope of work is the delivery of the instruments with training on their usage provided by the seller. The instruments will be located in Building 20, Rm 231 of the Western New York VA Research Facility. The work will be performed in Dr. Yan s laboratory. Other labs can also share the instruments. 5. Specific Tasks. It is expected that instruments will be delivered and training provided. 5.1 Task 1 - Enterprise Management Controls. 5.1.1 Subtask 1 Installation of Equipment. The Contractor will travel to the VA WNYHCS to install the instruments and provide on-site training. It is estimated that the device will be installed and adjusted within the same day. It is expected that the system will provide the full expected technical capacity when evaluated under actual conditions presented by the users; this will provide the essential quality assurance for the device in this SOW. 6. Performance Monitoring The Principal Investigator will continuously measure performance of the instrument. Changes in functionality will be communicated to the contractor by Dr. Yan on an as-needed basis. 7. Security Requirements The Contractor will not require access to VA patient records, patient data, or VA computer systems. The Contractor will not need to enter the VA hospital to install the equipment. The equipment computer will NOT be connected to the VA internet in VA WNY Building 20. It will be a stand-alone device. It will be housed in Room 231 in Building 20 of the VA WNY Research Service. The Contractor will not require access to any sensitive research information as well. Given the above, there is a perceived minimal risk regarding patient or information security. 8. Other Pertinent Information or Special Considerations. a. Packaging, Packing and Shipping Instructions. The Contractor must provide shipping container for the equipment which is appropriate to its transport, arrival, movement in the VA WNY system, and protection during unpacking in order to assure that there is no damage to the instrument physically or functionally. 9. Place of Performance. Work will be performed at the VA Western NY Healthcare System, Building 20. The instrumentation will be installed in Rm 231 of Building 20 (Dr. Yan s laboratory). Shipping of the instrument, insurance of the instrument during shipping, Contractor travel and lodging needed for the installation and education are all expected to be part of the single contract price. 10. Period of Performance. Shipping and installation of equipment shall occur within 30 days after receipt of order (ARO). During this time the contractor should also plan with the VA POC for installation of equipment as well as training. 13. Delivery Schedule.

(End of Statement of Work) Salient Characteristics Agilent BioTek Synergy HTX Multi-Mode Microplate Reader and Thermo Scientific NanoDrop One Microvolume UV-Vis Spectrophotometer System Description The Agilent BioTek Synergy HTX Multi-Mode Microplate Reader is specifically designed to use UV-Vis absorbance and filter-based fluorescence and luminescence for many key end point and kinetic applications, including Protein quantification, Nucleic acid quantification, Enzyme kinetics, ELISAs, Cell proliferation, Cytotoxicity, Drug absorption and metabolism. The compact system has a unique dual-optics design: a xenon flash lamp and monochromator enable filter-free, 200 to 999 nm wavelength selection for absorbance measurements, and a tungsten halogen lamp plus interference filters provide excellent sensitivity for fluorescence detection. Synergy HTX also features the Agilent BioTek unique 4-Zone incubation to 50 ºC, dual reagent injectors, plus linear and orbital shaking to meet a wide variety of assay requirements in 6- to 384-well microplates. Synergy HTX is controlled by the easyto-use, yet powerful Agilent BioTek Gen5 microplate reader and imager software for data collection, analysis, exporting and reporting. For increased workflow automation and throughput, the Agilent BioTek BioStack microplate stacker can be easily connected to Synergy HTX to automatically process up to 50 microplates at a time. For convenience, versatility and affordability, Synergy HTX is the ideal multimode microplate reader. The Thermo Scientific NanoDrop One Microvolume UV-Vis Spectrophotometer is a high-performing and popular instrument designed for determining the average concentration of DNA or RNA in a sample. It uses the optical technology, UV-Vis measurement, to accurately quantify the amount of nucleic acids in a sample.
