UNSPSC 41105309: Kits or reagents for capillary electrophoresis

UNSPSC 41105309 Kits or reagents for capillary electrophoresis is a Commodity code covering specialized laboratory consumables and reagents that state and local governments procure for DNA analysis, forensic screening, and drug detection applications. State and local agencies purchase DNA sequencing kits, genetic analyzer components, buffer solutions, polymers, and direct ELISA reagent kits for detecting controlled substances — supplied by vendors including Thermo Fisher Scientific (Life Technologies), Promega, Qiagen, Abbott (Immunalysis), and ANDE Corporation. These products serve forensic laboratories, public safety departments, and state wildlife agencies. Procurement under the code appears driven by single-source or proprietary brand specifications, with contracts structured around precise storage requirements (typically 2–8 degrees Celsius), shelf-life compliance, compatibility with specific analyzer platforms, and firm fixed-price delivery models.
