Description
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) is seeking to procure a MALDI Biotyper Sirius CA System from Bruker Scientific, LLC. The system will be used by the Microbiology Service within the Department of Laboratory Medicine to support the rapid and accurate identification of microorganisms from clinical cultures. The system must be compatible with existing consumables, reagents, and validated methodologies to ensure continuity of operations and minimal disruption to clinical services.
• The system will be used for diagnostic testing for clinical patient specimens at the NIH Clinical Center.
• The system must support existing laboratory workflows and maintain compatibility with current consumables, reagents, and validated methodologies.
• The system is a direct successor to the currently deployed Bruker MALDI Biotyper Smart System, which is approaching the end of its service life and requires replacement.
