Text1: BA, ABBL requires full metabolic pathway profile analysis services from tissue and gut content samples to generate an association map of metaboloic pathway components that can further be analyzed for establishing differences in nutrient bio-markers representative of novel and desirable health traits in chicken. The following source; Metabolon, Inc. located in Research Triangle Park, NC is requested due to the need to maintain continuity of research data. Profile services from this source were procured in FY15 under USDA Purchase Order No. AG-32SC-P-15-0355 awarded on 09/29/2015 for statistical analysis and matrices.
Proposed Price: $31,500.00.
| Text2: ABBL requires Metabolon, Inc. located in Research Triangle Park, North Carolina for profiling services due to the nature of analysis and the uniformity of results required. Metabolon provided profiling services for ABBL in FY15 and the pathway profiling now required is a continuation of research analysis. The uniformity of results over time is highly dependent on the nature of the mass spectroscopy platforms and protocols that provide the analysis. Changing any aspects of the analytical platform at this point in the experimental process would, for all intent and purposes, negate the validity of the results since it would be impossible to distinguish metabolic profile changes that were the result of imposed treatment effects from those due to random variation and artifact in the analytical method especially as regards the sensitivity of the method. | |
