RNA ultrasense QRT PCR mix PCE and 2 more items

Life Technologies Corporation has been awarded a contract by George Mason University in Virginia with a cumulative value of $2,093.42. The award, issued on August 21, 2026, encompasses the supply of molecular biology reagents and associated handling services. The primary deliverable consists of three units of RNA UltraSense QRT polymerase chain reaction (PCR) mix, a specialized reagent used in quantitative reverse transcription PCR applications. Performance is directed to GMU Purchasing at George Mason University.

The contract includes ancillary charges necessary for the secure delivery and handling of temperature-sensitive biological materials. These supplementary line items consist of a minimum handling charge for category PCE materials at $102 and a dry ice charge at $27.50, reflecting the cold chain requirements for maintaining the integrity of the molecular biology reagents during transit. The three RNA UltraSense QRT PCR mix units are priced at $654.64 per unit, collectively representing the primary cost component of this procurement action.
