About this file
This document outlines specifications for a micro-dispensing liquid handling robot solicited by the USDA Agricultural Research Service. The specifications call for a non-contact liquid dispensing robot capable of volumes from 0.1 to 500 microliters to work with standard 96-well and 384-well plates. Additional requirements include low dead volumes below 20 microliters, pipetting accuracy of 3% or less from 0.1 to 25 microliters, customizable dispensing software, and a compact benchtop size. The related federal contract opportunity is solicitation number 12805B23Q0525 for a micro-dispensing liquid handling robot to be located at the USDA-ARS laboratory at the University of Lincoln-East Campus. Documentation, software, installation, and shipping costs must be included in the proposal.

Title: Micro-dispensing Liquid Handling Robot
Robotic Microfluidic Liquid Handler: Specifications:
Background and ScopeThe USDA-ARS Boehm-Cai laboratory in Filley Hall Room 250 at the University of Lincoln-East Campus requires rapid, precise, repeatable, versatile, and inexpensive pipetting of various reagents at a wide range of volumes on a daily basis to produce genotyping data and research data to meet CRIS objectives. For our shared molecular breeding and cytogenetics laboratory for wheat and barley research, we require a robotic pipetter to increase our work capacity, save money on reagents, and reduce downtime.
Applicable Documents and Standards Contractor must warranty the proper function, parts, software, and workmanship of the robotic microfluidic liquid handler for 1 year as part of the initial purchase price.
Requirements The micro-dispensing liquid handling robot:
1. Must have non-contact dispensing (no contact of sample with tips to prevent contamination).
2. Must dispense volumes from 0.1 ul to 500 ul via single channel format to accommodate all needed uses.
3. Must work with generally available labware including: 96 well PCR, 384 well PCR, & 96 deep-well plates (to maintain compatibility with our other robots, supplies, and procedures).
4. Must not require disposable tips or reagent reservoirs to reduce costs and waste.
5. Must have a very low dead-volume (waste volume) of 20 ul or less to reduce costs and waste.
6. Must pipette with an accuracy of 3% (CV) or less across a volume range of 0.1 ul to 25 ul to accommodate all needed uses.
7. Must allow pipetting different volumes into different wells of a plate for DNA normalization.
8. Must allow rapid interchange of differing dispense solutions with minimal washing, cleaning, or swapping of dispensers.
9. Must have easy to use, easy to modify, graphical-interface dispensing software to accommodate multiple users with minimal training.
10. Must be lab bench-top usable (smaller than 2' x 2' x 2') to accommodate expected lab location.
Testing and Verification A pipetting accuracy of 3% (CV) or less across a volume range of 0.1 ul to 25 ul will be our verification standard.
Government Furnished Property None.
Data Requirements Required documentation must include operation manual, software manual, software installation procedures. Required software for operation must be included.
Packaging and Shipping All packaging, shipping, and shipping-insurance costs must be included with purchase price.
The Mantis-Microfluidic Liquid Handler will meet these requirements, however, all Micro-dispensing Liquid Handling Robots that meet the requirements will be considered.
