Waiver type - Procurement: Nonavailability

Agency: NATIONAL INSTITUTES OF HEALTH (7529) • Product Service Code (PSC) : 6640 | Last Modified: 01/21/2025

Procurement Summary

The mission requires one (1) automated tissue dissociator which is intended to satisfy a requirement. The automated features for the benchtop tissue dissociator enables reliable tissue dissociation or thorough homogenization to use in virtually any cell research field, including cancer, immunology, neuroscience, stem cell, and cardiovascular research. Allows for the end user to process two sample in parallel to save time. Benchtop- Instrument with Heater Specifications: The instrument should be equipped with eight individual heating units that offer a fully automated workflow for tissue dissociation. In addition, the instrument should allow the user to create user-defined programs for almost any biological material. All eight positions should be able to be operated independently. The single-cell suspensions or thorough homogenates should be easily and reproducibly obtained using the unique C Tubes or M Tubes. These single-use tubes should allow sample preparation in a closed and sterile system, providing a high level of user safety and minimize cross-contamination. The Benchtop Instrument with heater should be equipped with several programs for fully automated tissue dissociation into single-cell suspensions, including: mouse or human tumor, mouse or rat neonatal heart, neural tissue, mouse spleen, lung, lamina propria, epidermis, or liver, mouse or rat skeletal muscle and more.
