About this file

This specification sheet details requirements for upgrading a ddPCR system. The National Eye Institute's Office of Logistics and Acquisition seeks to replace its existing QX200 droplet reader, which can detect two fluorescent colors, with a QX600 droplet reader manufactured by Bio-Rad. The QX600 supports analysis of six fluorescent colors and 1-96 samples simultaneously, allowing development of specialized diagnostic tests. Delivery is required to the listed Bethesda, Maryland address by July 1, 2023. The contract type will be firm fixed price. Technical evaluation will consider a droplet reader meeting the specified six-color detection capabilities. This requirement is associated with solicitation number NIH-SS-6682688 for a QX600 Droplet Reader issued by the Department of Health and Human Services National Institutes of Health Office of Logistics and Acquisition Operations.

Specification / Configuration Background Information:

The OGL purchased the QX200 AutoDG ddPCR System manufactured by Bio-Rad through the POTS order 18-004197. The ddPCR system allows the OGL/NEI to perform custom diagnostic testing for patient samples. At the time, Bio-Rad was the only vendor who manufactured a ddPCR instrument.

Justification Rationale for the request:

The QX200 ddPCR system currently at the OGL/NEI is composed of two components, the AutoDG droplet generator and the QX200 droplet reader. The QX200 droplet reader is limited by analyzing two different fluorescent colors, preventing us to develop specialty diagnostic tests for phasing sequence variants and others. The new model of QX600 droplet reader can detect six-colors (FAM, HEX, Cy5, Cy5.5, ROX, and ATTO 590) while allowing analyzing 1-96 samples at a time. BioRad is the only manufacturer to manufacture a droplet reader that is compatible with the AutoDG droplet generator.
