Description
The FDA is seeking a contractor to provide consumables (multi-well plates) for use in Axion Biosystems Multielectrode Array systems. The contract will be an Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) vehicle with a base year ordering period and four one-year ordering periods. The contractor will be required to provide various multi-well plates with a minimum technical threshold of 700 electrodes per plate, compatible with the agency's existing MEA recording platform. The period of performance is five one-year ordering periods, with a contract guaranteed minimum of $10,000 and a contract maximum of $349,000.
• The components and/or products shall be newly manufactured, not used, refurbished, or previously used for demonstration.
• Each plate shall have real-time well-by-well review of raw signals from each electrode simultaneously and real-time plate-wide feedback on electrophysiological activity, as well as high signal quality.
• Each plate shall also have temperature and electrical stimulation control, automatic search and identification of cardiac T-wave capabilities, and automatic calculation beat-by-beat measurements.
• Plates shall have the capability to measure parameters including field potential duration, beat period, conduction velocity, and depolarization, spike amplitude, slope, beat amplitude, and excitation-contraction delay.
• Plates shall have the capability to pace with electrical stimulation.
