Description
The United States Geological Survey (USGS) is seeking a quotation for an EP Motion Liquid Handling Instrument, specifically the Eppendorf epMotion 5073t. The instrument should have certain characteristics, including a thermomixer with a speed of 300-2000 rpm, a time range setting from 30s- 120min, and a max load of 1000g/2.2lbs. The instrument will be used for quality transfer and dispensing of liquids into various size sample tubes and plates. The USGS requires a new, updated EP Motion to enhance sample processing efficiencies by automating the pipetting and liquid transfer process.
• The instrument should be customizable to allow for new methods and workflows.
• The instrument should have a temperature range of 15 degrees Celsius below RT to 95 degrees Celsius.
• The instrument should have a heating rate of 5 degrees Celsius and a cooling rate above RT of 3 degrees Celsius per minute.
• The instrument should have a thermal module with a time range setting of 1-120 minutes and a temperature range of 0 degrees Celsius to 110 deg Celsius.
• The instrument should have a volume range of 0.2uL-1mL and an operation mode of automatic.
• The instrument should have autoclavable tools, a power supply of 100-240V, 50-60Hz, and be compatible with epT.I.P.S.
• The instrument should have a maximum power consumption of 700W and dimensions measuring 108x62x81cm.
• The instrument should have a weight of 124kg and SLAS/ANSI positions – 14.5, with an additional CleanCap that includes a UV lamp for decontamination.
