Version 11-30-2016-1 FAR Part 11—Describing Agency Needs

PURCHASE DESCRIPTION

1. Statement of Need and Purpose: This acquisition is necessary for automation of the culture techniques used in the iPSC Neurodegenerative Diseases Initiative (INDI)

Project within the new Center for Alzheimer’s Disease and Related Dementias.

2. Background Information and Objective: imaging technology improves to capture

The National Institute of Aging (NIA) is working to create a national resource of isogenic sets of Alzheimer’s Disease and Related Dementias mutated iPSC lines, complimented by foundational phenotypic datasets from differentiated disease-relevant cells derived from these lines. This resource will substantially accelerate the pace of mechanistic discovery regarding how ADRD mutations cause disease. An automated liquid dispensing device is needed to create a high through put workflow for processing tissue culture cells to enable genetically engineered iPSCs.
