Single-molecule counting and digital quantification of RNA molecules instrument
Description: The Contracting Authority requires a multiplexed molecular analysis system capable of performing direct, amplification-free, digital quantification of gene expression (mRNA and miRNA) and protein targets from limited and potentially degraded clinical samples. The system will be used primarily for patient-derived specimens, including FFPE and other clinically archived materials, where RNA quantity and integrity may be limited. The solution must therefore demonstrate high sensitivity, reproducibility, and robustness to sample degradation. The required system must provide a complete sample-to-data workflow, enabling end-to-end processing, automated or semi-automated operation, and integrated data analysis suitable for use by scientific staff without advanced bioinformatics expertise. To access this opportunity, you must first register as a "Supplier" on the Authority's e-tendering portal here: https://atamis-1928.my.site.com/s/Welcome
Summary: The current procurement process is initiated by the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, acting as part of the Crown through the UK Health Security Agency, located in London, United Kingdom. The active tender is for a "Single-molecule counting and digital quantification of RNA molecules instrument" intended for medical equipment use. The procurement is in the tender stage and operates under an open procedure, inviting submissions via a specified e-tendering portal. The tender period concludes on 28th May 2026, and the award is expected by 10th June 2026. This procurement is of particular interest to businesses specializing in high-sensitivity molecular analysis systems, given the instrument's stringent requirements for sensitivity, reproducibility, and robustness.
