Description
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) is seeking to procure an automated, multi-channel aquatic respirometry system and compatible high-precision experimental chambers. The system must meet specific technical requirements, including multi-channel automation capability, system configuration and compatibility, and chamber dimension engineering. The equipment will be used to expand the lab's capacity to measure the metabolic rates, oxygen consumption, and physiological responses of aquatic organisms.
• The system must support a minimum of a 4-channel configuration.
• The system must function seamlessly as an add-on resting respirometry system operating on standard US electrical configurations.
• The chambers must have an Internal Diameter (ID) of 190 mm and a Length (D) of 800 mm, as well as four additional acrylic respirometry chambers with an ID of 240 mm and a Depth (D) of 250 mm.
• The system must feature exact-fit O-rings engineered specifically to seal respirometer chambers to maintain a strict gas-tight, hermetic seal during intermittent-flow measurement cycles.
• The hardware must natively integrate with the Sandy hook Lab's existing Autoresp 3.0 automated respirometry software.
