Description
The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is seeking sources that can provide MSI Testing Reagent Cartridges as Reagent Rental for in-house single gene molecular testing. The assay should be fully automated, provide results in approximately 150 minutes, and detect mutations in 7 novel MSI loci. The VA is looking for companies that can provide this service and is requesting information on company size, capabilities, and pricing.
Some key points to consider are:
• The assay should be fully automated and ready to use with no reagent preparation required.
• The assay should provide a result in approximately 150 minutes.
• No sample extraction is required prior to use.
• The testing volume should be able to be performed on a minimum of 1 slice of FFPE tissue section.
• The assay should eliminate the use of external quality control.
• The assay should provide qualitative detection of mutations in 7 novel MSI loci (ACVR2A, BTBD7, DIDO1, MRE11, RYR3, SEC31A, and SULF2).
