Notice Title

Assay separation platform

Notice Description

University of Edinburgh has a requirement for a nano-immunoassay system which is capable of detection and characterization of protein molecular weights in denatured protein lysates. Such a system must be able to: - perform fully automated size-based separation and be a nano-immunoassay platform for the detection and characterization of protein molecular weights in denatured protein lysates - automatically perform all the steps associated with traditional western blot analysis and provide true quantitation of results upon completion of an experiment. - detect proteins at low picogram level which are important for to study distinct cell populations that result low amounts of experimental material - Perform assays with fully analysed data in a cycle of approximately 3 hours.

University of Edinburgh has a requirement for a nano-immunoassay system which is capable of detection and characterization of protein molecular weights in denatured protein lysates. Such a system must be able to: - perform fully automated size-based separation and be a nano-immunoassay platform for the detection and characterization of protein molecular weights in denatured protein lysates - automatically perform all the steps associated with traditional western blot analysis and provide true quantitation of results upon completion of an experiment. - detect proteins at low picogram level which are important for to study distinct cell populations that result low amounts of experimental material - Perform assays with fully analysed data in a cycle of approximately 3 hours. Following a market scan we reasonably believe that the Biotechne Jess solution is the only solution on the market which fulfils this requirement, and are therefore direct awarding

Options: The University may extent warranty/service with the supplier, and potentially purchase device consumables from the supplier
