Scope of Work_004000000085838.docx

This Scope of Work document outlines equipment requirements for the Enteric laboratory, which is receiving funding through a CDC ELC grant. The laboratory requires a microtiterplate reader specifically designed to validate and execute an ELISA assay for Trichinella spiralis detection. The equipment must accommodate 96-well plates with absorbance measurement capability at 450/620 nm wavelengths, utilizing bichromatic measurement with a reference wavelength of 620 nm. Additionally, the plate reader must be capable of processing break-apart snap-off strips. The procurement includes a comprehensive 12-month service and technical support plan alongside a 12-month parts and labor warranty to ensure continuous operational capability throughout the validation process.

The project is contingent upon CDC ELC grant funding, which provides the financial basis for this equipment acquisition. The scope does not specify pricing terms, delivery dates, bidder conference information, or award timelines within this document. The warranty and service plan requirements indicate a focus on sustained equipment functionality and technical assistance during the critical validation phase of the Trichinella spiralis detection assay development.
