QUESTIONS and ANSWERS

1. The salient characteristics require an average sample ramp rate of 3.66°C/sec or greater. Thermo Fisher's published specification for the QuantStudio 5 384-well system states an average sample ramp rate of

2.92°C/sec. Since this is a brand-name-only procurement, please confirm whether 2.92°C/sec is acceptable or whether the requirement will be corrected? This is acceptable.

2. The brand-name justification refers to independently programmed temperature zones across the heat block. Thermo Fisher's published literature indicates that VeriFlex temperature zones are not applicable to the

384-well QuantStudio 5 configuration. Please confirm whether independently programmable temperature zones are a mandatory requirement?

This is not required.

3. Please confirm the required Thermo Fisher catalog number and whether the requested configuration must include a laptop or desktop computer? This should not include a computer.

Catalog number: A28140

4. Are installation, calibration, onsite setup or user training required? No
