Thermo Scientific Custom Model Freezers and Centrifuge Package

GENERAL INFORMATION
Background: The Central Biorepository processes and stores specimens for clinical trials run by the VA Cooperative Studies Program. The purchase of the freezers will replace old and decommissioned freezers and will help increase freezer space to be used in the large-scale genomic medicine project known as the Million Veteran Program (MVP) storing up to 4 million sample aliquots, and the purchase of the centrifuge will help with sample processing. The freezers will be used to store biological specimen samples in various formats (tubes, cryovials, racks, plates, etc.) as defined by the biorepository s Standard Operating Procedures, Work Instructions, and Study Specific Procedures. The freezer will be incorporated into the current inventory of freezers and managed by the two existing monitoring/alarm systems. Current freezer inventories are of the exact same manufacturer and design. It is imperative that we maintain identical storage conditions for the biological specimen samples stored in these freezers.
Performance Period: Products to be delivered by 09/15/2018.
