Nature of Requirements:
Liquid Handling Systems, Winnipeg, Manitoba.
Public Health Agency of Canada, the National Laboratory for HIV
Reference Services (NLHRS), Winnipeg, Manitoba has a requirement
for the supply, delivery and offloading of two (2) Bench-top
Liquid Handling Systems with flexibility in tube type, size,
input volume and aliquoting volume meeting the Minimum
Performance Specifications herein.
The purpose of the first liquid handler is for clean room
mastermix preparation (no 'template', therefore no risk of cross
contamination for sensitive PCR assays). The NLHRS Molecular
Diagnostics is ISO accredited and runs in-house PCRs for
molecular testing. An automated liquid handler would not only
save time but it would also standardize reagent preparation.
The second instrument would be located outside of the clean room
to use for the preparation of proficiency testing samples for
the programs run by the NLHRS. Each panel of over 1000 tubes
must be aliquoted for distribution to Canadian and International
laboratories.
Delivery is mandatory to be no later than March 31, 2014.
