About this file
This document outlines specifications for an integrated bioengineering platform. The Naval Research Laboratory requires a customized workcell that will integrate several instruments for biotechnology research and development, including a DNA synthesizer, thermal cyclers, plate peelers, sealers, fragment analyzers, sonicators, plate readers, centrifuges, liquid handlers, incubators, and barcode labelers. The platform must be controlled by a single PC, implement necessary instrument drivers and modifications, include status lighting, waste bins with sensors, and fit within specified dimensions. Accompanying software is required to schedule processes, record and report data to a LIMS system, log full sample trails and processes, allow editing and parallel/restarting of processes, and utilize custom scripting and database tracking of run information. An articulated robotic arm, scratch-resistant surfaces, instrument cabinets, a 10-position carousel, centrifuge autoloader, integrated power panel, sliding instrument supports, and factory/site acceptance testing and training are also specified. The Naval Research Laboratory is seeking potential sources capable of meeting these requirements for an integrated bioengineering platform.

Notice ID: N00173-24-RFI-NY07 Specifications The Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) has a requirement for an automated system integrating several instruments into a single platform:
A. The primary requirement is for a workcell for biotechnology research and development that will integrate several instruments into automated workflows. This platform will be a customized system to hold and operate the instruments listed below, along with the necessary components to allow these instruments to be linked together, including power distribution, software drivers, monitoring systems, and access to instruments for maintenance and consumable replenishment.
B. Laboratory automation workcell to Integrate instrumentation and link processes together into workflows
a. System controllable by single PC with monitor
b. Implement or write drivers and modifications as necessary to link planned instruments: Syntax DNA synthesizer, four Inheco On-deck thermal cyclers, XPeel Plate peeler, A4S Plate sealer, Agilent 5400 fragment analyzer, Covaris sonicator, two Tecan Spark plate readers, Hettich Rotanta automated centrifuge, ThermoFisher KingFisher Flex, Thermo Cytomat 5C incubators, an adjacent automated liquid handling platform (for example Tecan DreamPrep or Hamilton Vantage), and Agilent Microplate Barcode Labeler
c. Status lighting to indicate problems
d. Waste bins with sensors to alert operators when they need emptied
e. Maximum dimensions not more than 170”L x 78”W x 78”H C. Process scheduling software with 20 sockets to initiate tasks and control instrument drivers

d. Allows real time editing
e. Allows parallel processes
f. New batches of samples can be added while running
g. Customizable scripting options
h. Automatic restarting if PC restarts
i. Built-in database to track run information
j. Event driven and time driven task scheduling
k. No external internet connection required D. Articulated collaborative robot arm with 360° wrist movement
a. 2 m track with maximum radial reach of > 25 inches (625 mm), height at least 30 inches
b. Drag-to-teach capability
c. Integrated barcode scanner
d. Minimum compactness < 7.5 inches (190 mm) E. Scratch resistant, easily decontaminated surfaces
a. Bunded surfaces to contain spillage, with spill/leak alert system F. Cabinets underneath to house individual instrument control PCs and peripheral equipment (vacuum pumps, waste containers, etc.)
G. De-lidding instrument to remove up to four plate lids at a time H. 10-position automated carousel to hold labware and tip boxes, reconfigurable to adapt to different experimental requirements I. Centrifuge autoloader for SBS plates compatible with Hettich Rotanta 360R J. Delidding system with four plate capacity K. Integrated power panel for centralized power management, emergency stops, accessible fuses L. Sliding instrument supports to perform maintenance, adjust or remove instruments from system
a. Instruments can be added or removed by end-user
b. All instruments are accessible for maintenance or consumable replenishment M. Factory acceptance testing to verify function prior to disassembly and shipping N. Installation, commissioning and site acceptance testing in lab at NRL
a. Ship system and assemble in NRL facility
b. Integrate instrumentation and validate proper integration
c. Perform operator training on system operation, maintenance, robot operation, instrument addition, and software procedures
d. Complete site acceptance testing to verify proper function of all integrated instruments and initial workflows O. One year warranty and support by manufacturer trained personnel
