Performance and/or Design Requirements (e.g.. intended use, function or application, compatibility, requirements;

reference to policy, rule, statute or other act of the Legislature, etc., as appropriate):

Pursuant to Chapter 943, FS, and Chapter 11, FAC, the Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE), mission is to promote public safety and strengthen domestic security by providing services in partnership with local, state, and federal criminal justice agencies to prevent, investigate, and solve crimes while protecting Florida’s citizens by enforcing and supporting prevention of drug activity, responding to emergency situations, and preventing any act of criminal violence in the State of Florida.

The OROC Lab is seeking to procure a semi-automated manifold system for use within its toxicology section. This system will be used for solid-phase extractions (SPE), a chemical process that isolates the drugs of interest from the biological specimen. The semi-automated aspect is related to the way liquids are delivered to each of the solid-phase extraction cartridges in the rack. The pump is designed to accurately deliver constant volumes to each extraction cartridge one after another.
