The NIH Intramural Sequencing Center (NISC) is a centralized research facility for performing high-throughput, large-scale DNA sequencing and sequence analysis. NISC supplies state of the art sequencing services to institutes throughout the NIH. Thousands of samples are processed each year at this facility. The processing of this number of samples requires various forms of automation, including the Tecan Fluent 780 robot, which is capable of processing at least 96-samples at a time. This robot is a critical instrument used in the preparation of samples for our sequencing production process. The purpose of this procurement is to provide NHGRI/NISC with a service agreement to service and repair a Tecan Fluent 780 robot for 12 months. The Tecan Fluent 780 robot is critical instrumentation used in the preparation of samples for our sequencing production process. It is imperative that it be well maintained and operational so that NISC’s work can be completed in a timely fashion.
