B.2 STATEMENT OF WORK

STATEMENT OF WORK (SOW)

TITLE OF PROJECT:

Automated Droplet Digital PCR System (Bio-Rad QX-One) System for Research Service.

SCOPE OF WORK:

The Research Department located at the Central Texas Veterans Health Care System (CTVHCS), VA Research Core Lab at 1901 Veterans Memorial Drive (Research Building 205), Temple, Texas is requesting the purchase of a fully Automated Droplet Digital PCR System.

BACKGROUND:

Many Veteran diseases (e.g., various cancer, heart disease, etc.) occur when there is abnormal production of cellular proteins caused either by mutations in the DNA code or excessive production of the messenger RNA that code for the protein sequence. Treatment strategies are most effective when the specific nucleic acid (DNA and/RNA) abnormalities (i.e., genomic variations and altered gene expression) can be specifically identified and accurately quantified.

This form of treatment is referred to as personalized medicine. Obtaining this type of nucleic acid information through conventional means is laborious and requires lab technicians to carry out several sequential manipulations on a variety of instrument platforms (e.g., PCR machine Single

Droplet Instrument Autosampler Droplet Reader Software Analysis and Report Generation), once the nucleic acid sequences have been isolated. Combining all of these steps into an automated system greatly reduces the need for technical assistance, as well as data variations or aborted runs due to technician error. A fully automated piece of equipment reliably integrates all of the above nucleic analysis steps in a seamless fashion would provide substantial benefit to our existing Research BioMolecular Core.

DESCRIPTION OF EQUIPMENT:

The QX ONE Droplet Digital PCR (ddPCR) System provides an absolute measure of target DNA molecules (genomic DNA or RT-PCR DNA-obtained mRNA transcripts) with extremely high precision (>99.99%), accuracy (+5% of reference sample) and sensitivity (down to a single DNA copy in a sample). The QX One System integrates the ddPCR workflow by combining droplet generation, thermal cycling and droplet reading into a single, fully automated process. In droplet generation, samples are partitioned into thousands of nanoliter-sized droplets, each of which become independent PCR reaction chambers. After thermal cycling the droplets are streamed into a single file during droplet reading to count the positive and negative reactions. The QX ONE Droplet Digital PCR System provides an end result of an absolute count of the number of target DNA sequences which includes copy number, variation in sequence, mutation detection and gene expression analysis. The instrument includes all of the software required for sample setup, acquisition, analysis and export of data for publication. The instrument has a touch screen for user interface which runs on the Windows Professional 64-bit operating system and is equipped with a 1 terabyte SSD, i5 Intel Core 6300U processor and 16 gigabytes of on-board memory (RAM).

REQUESTED PIECE OF EQUIPMENT NEEDS TO INCLUDE ALL THE FOLLOWING
