Statement of Needs – Firefly Expansion
This statement of work is for the procurement of two instruments capable of:
1. Liquid handling systems
a. Dispensing system: the system must use liquid dispensers with TRUE positive displacement of liquids for aspiration and non-contact dispensing with 6 dispensing syringes.
b. Pipetting system: the system must include at least a 384 tip air-displacement pipetting head, working in a minimum range from 0.5uL to 125uL. Plastic consumable tips must be automatically exchanged by the system and available in 384, 96, 8, and 16 channel arrays, for flexibility to work with a wide variety of 96 and 384 well plates. The system must be able to automatically switch between these formats for flexibility.
2. Liquid Class management
a. Dispenser Liquid classes: the dispense system must be capable of handling a wide range liquid type from 80% ethanol through to 50% (w/v) glycerol, with NO requirement for liquid classification. Common biological assay components such as aqueous buffers, DMSO, beads, cells, or glycerol protein stocks must all be dispensed using the same standard settings as well as particulates such as SPRI beads.
b. Pipetting liquid classes: The pipetting system must use liquid classes to compensate for different liquid types and is well suited to a range of liquid types.
It uses an air-displacement pipetting system.
3. NIAID has limited space and requires a small foot print 26 inches wide by 22 inches deep.
User Interface must be completely configurable to tailor the user experience from those requiring restricted access to run specific protocols only, to full open access to all features for Super users. Must be able to install the software on any windows device to author protocols virtually anywhere and send them to the system via a network or over the cloud.
4. The system must include fixed base configurations to share protocols between systems.
Configuration must also include a microplate shaker and incubation capabilities.
5. Must be application ready with off the shelf protocols ready to use.
