Description
The NIH seeks a fixed‑price purchase order for the Alamar ARGO HT System, a fully automated, high‑throughput proteomics platform that integrates qPCR and NGS capabilities. The instrument must process up to 288 samples per run, deliver results in under 6 hours (singleplex) or 15 hours (multiplex), and include cartridge‑based reagents, liquid handling, onboard computing, cloud‑based analysis software, and API access. It must meet regulatory standards (ISO 13485, ISO 9001, CE, UL, etc.), operate within specified temperature/humidity ranges, and fit within a footprint of 1143 mm × 661 mm × 1016 mm, weighing ≤250 kg. Delivery is required within 90 days of award to NIH, Rockville, MD.
