Notice Title

23963 - Synthesis of Complex Brucella Tetrasaccharide antigen

Notice Description

APHA has been working with organic chemists at the University of Alberta on research using synthetic sugars as antigens for brucella diagnostic tests. These antigens have great advantages over the existing antigens. Small research quantities of these complex sugars have been provided by the University. Small quantities have been provided to veterinary diagnostic companies who now require larger quantities to fully evaluate. APHA now needs to get a significant amount of the tetrasaccharide antigen synthesized to allow wider evaluation by diagnostic companies, sale of the antigen and the issuing of licenses for companies to use the sugars in their tests. Additional information: Please note that Defra procurement uses e-tendering, provided by Bravosolutions. In order to access the Bravo system you will need to be registered. Could I therefore request that you register on the Bravo portal for Defra. If you're already registered on the Bravo portal please check that your registration includes Defra, as you have to specify us in order to correctly receive the tender documents.
