Description
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) is seeking to acquire an automated benchtop microplate reagent dispenser, specifically the Integra WellJet, to support the maintenance and operation of lab instrumentation and processes within the Division of Preclinical Innovation (DPI) Research Services Core (RSC) and Functional Genomics Lab. The dispenser should be able to rapidly and uniformly dispense liquids into standard laboratory microplates for assay setup, reagent addition, plate filling, and other routine plate-based workflows. The contract will be awarded to the responsible offeror whose proposal represents the best value to the Government, considering factors such as price, technical capability, and past performance. The contract will include the delivery of two dispensers, four plate towers with 25 plate capacity, and two packs of 16-channel pre-sterilized cassettes, as well as shipping, professional installation, and staff training.
• The instrument shall be a bench-top automated microplate reagent dispenser
