In Vitro Incubation Digestion System SOW
USDA-ARS, U.S. Sheep Experiment Station is seeking an in vitro incubation digestion system for analyzing biogas production and in-vitro digestibility studies using processed feeds and/or grazing forages, like the BPC (Bioprocess Control) Instruments Gas Endeavour III standard system, or equivalent. Specific analysis framework for the device will be to simulate digestion in ruminants and quantify methane and other gases produced during digestion.
Quotes must include delivery to Dubois, ID, 83423.
• At minimum required specifications:
o The system consists of a sample incubation unit, ex-situ gas absorption unit, and flow-cell meter array with data acquisition unit.
o The sample incubation unit must:
Have an adjustable temperature controller to reach a 60oC bath with a precision of 0.2 o C.
Accommodate eighteen (18) 500-mL individual reactor vessels each fitted with gas-flow closures paired with adjustable-speed (0 – 220 rpm) batch-solution rotary agitators.
o The ex-situ gas absorption unit must hold eighteen (18) 250-mL individual gas trap bottles fitted with gas-flow closures.
o The flow-cell meter array and data acquisition unit must:
Accommodate independent gas flow measurements from 18 test reactor vessels.
Have a measuring resolution of 2 mL per cell with each 2-mL cell having: 1) a measuring range of 0.2 – 1500 mL/h, 2) a detection capacity of up to 1600 L cumulative gas for each batch test, and 3) a measurement CV not to exceed 3%.
o System controller and analysis software accessible via installed software on a computer or web browser on a device and allow raw data downloads.
o Limited warranty
Value added Additional Options. Please indicate if these options are included in the base unit price or if they are available at an additional cost:
o Extended comprehensive warranty and support o Recommended accessories and replacement parts
