PURCHASE DESCRIPTION

1. Statement of Need and Purpose: This acquisition is necessary to provide an automated plate labeler to the iPSC Neurodegenerative Diseases Initiative (INDI) Project within the new Center for Alzheimer’s Disease and Related Dementias.

2. Background Information and Objective: imaging capture We are working to create a national resource of isogenic sets of Alzheimer’s Disease and Related Dementias mutated iPSC lines, complimented by foundational phenotypic data sets from differentiated disease-relevant cells derived from these lines. The automated plate labeler is a plate labeling system, capable of printing and applying labels to microplates that is compatible with a variety of microplates and deep well blocks. This is essential in the INDI-CARD initiative which will be handling a multitude of plates and would take an inordinate amount of time to label by hand. Also due to large, automated cell culture system, this labeler integrates with it very well and would further the integrity and tracking of all the production samples.

3. Generic Name of Product: Automated plate labeler

4. Purchase Description:

The automated tube labeler is essential part of the automation system that is designed for the INDI-Card initiative. The research being done on the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative diseases will generate large quantities of samples and tubes that will need to be tracked and recorded into the existing automated cell culture system as well and the laboratory inventory system.

5. Salient characteristics All deliverables required under this contract shall be packaged, marked and shipped in accordance with Government specifications. At a minimum, all deliverables shall be marked with the contract number and Contractor name. The Contractor shall guarantee that all required materials shall be delivered in immediate usable and acceptable condition.

Vendor must be able to provide these specifications:
