General Information

1.0 Scope of Work

Provide a brief statement of the overall project, including goals and objectives.

The CryoCart will serve as a sample handling system to contain and transport cryogenically frozen biological samples between freezers during our biorepository transfer activities at the Plum Island Animal Disease Center. Expedited transfer of materials along with maintenance of cold chain will be critical to ensure the viability, stability, and integrity of mission critical materials for transfer and future use at the National Agro and Bio Defense Facility (NBAF) in Manhattan Kansas.

2.0 Background

Provide a general description of the requirement, describing the acquisition history (if applicable), the current environment, and the vision of the future of the requirement. If information technology is a factor, provide pertinent technical facts.

This unit is designed for transporting large quantities of samples from one freezer unit to another while maintaining cold chain for 18 hours with the cover closed. This device proves efficient to support the biorepository transfer activities within the BSL3 laboratory space on plum island to ensure the mission critical biological materials arrive at the new facility suitable for future diagnostic and research use at NBAF.

Contractor Requirements

3.0 Technical Requirements / Tasks

• Upon arrival this unit will be transported in the biocontainment lab space.

• The unit will be filled with LN2 based on manufactures instructions to ensure the required temperature is stable for the end user. The Omega temperature monitor will be checked to ensure its functional.

• The end user- government personnel will ensue the device is added to the BRT equipment list for inventory and calibration schedule if required.

4.0 Government Furnished

List any government-furnished support, data, property or facilities. Describe government responsibility for reviewing and approving reports and final products generated under the contract.
