### Procurement Information

A direct award to ADS Biotec Limited is justified as the HANABI P3P Metaphase Chromosome Harvester provides unique technical capabilities not available from alternative suppliers. The P3P delivers fully automated, high-throughput metaphase harvesting with integrated fixation, hypotonic treatment, and slide preparation, ensuring consistent, high-quality metaphase spreads essential for cytogenetic workflows. Alternative systems do not offer comparable levels of automation, require substantially more manual intervention, or fail to match the P3P's reproducibility, operational efficiency, and compatibility with existing GLH laboratory processes. ADS Biotec is the sole manufacturer and exclusive supplier of the HANABI P3P, its proprietary consumables, and OEM servicing.
