86000-RNA extraction (EVs from murine melanoma and 1 more item

Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University awarded a contract to Norgen Biotek Corporation on August 12, 2026, with a cumulative value of $9,494.40. The contract encompasses two primary service line items related to molecular biology research support, with delivery to Sarah Stern at a Virginia location (540-526-2500). The first line item covers RNA extraction services from extracellular vesicles derived from murine melanoma samples, with a unit price of $138.00 each for a quantity of 12 units. The second line item provides library preparation, library quality control, and small ribonucleic acid sequencing services at a unit price of $653.20 each for a quantity of 12 units.

The contract represents a specialized research support engagement focused on supporting genomic analysis capabilities. All services are being performed in Virginia under the direction of Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University. The combined service offerings indicate support for extracellular vesicle characterization and small RNA profiling, which are advanced molecular techniques commonly utilized in cancer research and biomarker discovery applications. The specific nature of the deliverables—RNA extraction and sequencing library preparation—suggests this contract supports downstream genomic analysis and research publication requirements.
