About this file
This document is a Specifications attachment (Attachment 1) for a USDA federal contract procurement.
The USDA-ARS CDPG Grape Breeding Lab in Parlier, California requires the purchase of a PELCO BioWave Pro+ Laboratory Microwave Tissue Sample Processing System (#36700) and a Paraffin Processing Kit (#36500-40) to support tissue preparation workflows for microscopy, histology, immunolabeling, and paraffin embedding procedures critical to grape breeding program operations. The microwave system must meet specific technical requirements including a 2.45 GHz microwave frequency, 90-750 watts magnetron power, 15A/115VAC 60Hz electrical requirements, cabinet dimensions of 55.3cm W x 51.4cm D x 54.6cm H, and a built-in vacuum system with integrated magnetic stirring capability. The system must include a Report/Protocol Manager (RPM) application and Temperature Pro software. The Paraffin Processing Kit must include a PELCO ColdSpot® Plus unit, PELCO TissueVac® System with vacuum chamber and 58 cassette holder, bubbler probe, PELCO HistoWave® Cassette System for 24 cassettes, and a paraffin heating tile. One unit of the complete system is to be delivered to USDA ARS, 9611 S Riverbend Ave, Parlier, CA 93645 by September 1, 2026. No government-furnished property, travel, key personnel, security requirements, data rights, or Section 508 compliance standards apply to this procurement.
