Notice Information

Notice Title

Robotic Immunoassay System

Notice Description

The Health & Safety's Laboratory (HSL) is inviting tenders for the supply of a Robotic Immunoassay System. HSE's allergen monitoring service currently uses a 8 year old Tecan Evo system, with fixed pipetting probes. This is used primarily to measure by immunoassay low levels of allergens that have been extracted from filters after air sampling. The automated immunassay system is also used in the development of immunoassays. Overall the automation has a medium workload, and would be in use on a daily basis. We are looking to replace the current Tecan Evo instrument. We are looking for a system that can be used by staff who do not have considerable technical knowledge of the equipment and programming software, and will allow us to reduce maintenance expenditure in the future. We understand that the use of dispoable pipettes will incurr increased consumable exposure, but we have some methods where the ability to ensure zero carry-over between samples is necessary. Additional information: The Contract Start and Award dates are estimated & may be subject to change. If you are interested in this opportunity you will be required to register on HSE's eProcurement portal. You will need to follow this link https://in-tendhost.co.uk/hse/aspx/Home where you can register free of charge. HSE publishes all its opportunity's on this portal and you may on occasion be notified about these. Any queries regarding this opportunity are to be submitted via the HSE e-Procurement portal. Any changes or additional information, including any answers to queries will be published on the portal. The maximum budget available for this requirement is PS90,000 including VAT, offers over this amount will not be accepted.
