UNSPSC 41104933: Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) system

Designed for the sensitive, reproducible, endpoint detection and analysis of RNA molecules by RT-PCR. Using this convenient one-step formulation, you can perform both cDNA synthesis and PCR amplification in a single tube using gene-specific primers, and target RNAs from either total RNA or mRNA. The system uses a mixture of SuperScript III Reverse Transcriptase and Platinum Taq DNA Polymerase in an optimized reaction buffer, and it can detect a wide range of RNA targets, from 200 bp to 4.5 kb. The amount of starting material can range from 0.01 pg to 1 mg of total RNA.

UNSPSC 41104933 Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) system is a Commodity code, yet the recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code show little alignment with PCR testing or molecular diagnostics equipment. The code shows no recent activity directly supporting PCR systems, reagents, or consumables. Instead, the tagged records span unrelated medical equipment categories: laser systems for surgical operating rooms (San Mateo Medical Center), laboratory safety clothing (University of Wisconsin-Madison), surgical power instruments (San Mateo County), mobile vital sign monitors, ophthalmic instruments (Santa Clara County), automated external defibrillators and accessories (Cobb County School District, New Hampshire Department of Administrative Services, Marion County, City of Dallas), ventilator maintenance services (Hillsborough County), medical supply distribution networks (Minnesota Multigovernmental Cooperative Purchasing Alliance), educational vocational equipment (Educational Service and Buying Consortium in Texas, Klein ISD, Pasadena ISD), and various networking events for government procurement. None of these solicitations involve PCR systems, molecular diagnostics platforms, or related laboratory infrastructure.

State and local procurement activity under this code appears dormant from a PCR systems perspective. The issuing bodies span health systems, counties, school districts, universities, and cooperative purchasing alliances across California, Wisconsin, Florida, Georgia, Minnesota, Texas, and New Hampshire, but their actual spending under this code reflects generic medical equipment and supplies rather than diagnostic molecular biology instrumentation. If your firm specializes in PCR systems, reagents, or molecular diagnostics infrastructure, this code does not currently signal active state and local demand. Monitor the code for movement, but prioritize other procurement channels and direct outreach to clinical laboratories, public health departments, and academic medical centers currently evaluating diagnostic capacity.
