Description
The National Institutes of Health is seeking to procure a ChemiDoc Go Imaging System with Image Lab Touch Software. The system should have a 20.4-megapixel back-illuminated complementary metal oxide semiconductor detector, providing high pixel density and signal-to-noise performance necessary for small-format gel imaging, accurate band densitometry, stain-free normalization workflows, and continuity with previously generated datasets. The system should also have a built-in 9.7-inch touchscreen color interface, enabling full standalone operation without the need for an external computer. The sole-source justification is based on market research, which determined that the Bio-Rad ChemiDoc Go Imaging System is the only product capable of meeting the National Institutes of Health laboratory's minimum needs.
Some key features and benefits of the ChemiDoc Go Imaging System include:
• High pixel density and signal-to-noise performance
• Small-format gel imaging capabilities
• Accurate band densitometry
• Stain-free normalization workflows
• Continuity with previously generated datasets
• Built-in 9.7-inch touchscreen color interface for standalone operation
• Elimination of additional workstation procurement
• Reduction of validation burden
• Simplification of training and workflow integration
