Description

HSE-SD has a strong international reputation for high-quality, published research and we collaborate worldwide through a network of formal and informal partnerships. We are a designated WHO Collaborating Centre for Occupational Health and Safety Research. In the Biohazards team in Science Division, we offer bacterial endotoxin analysis to support HSE research projects and as part of the commercial testing and analysis service for external customers.

We require a frequent supply of Lonza Kinetic Chromogenic LAL Assay kits. The exact number of kits required is not known, nor are the details about when they will be required, as demand is dependent upon the active HSE research projects at a given time and the number of requests from external customers. In 2023/24 we purchased 16 kits and we expect demand to be similar going forwards, however there is no guarantee of future volumes.

We are seeking a partner to supply Lonza Kinetic Chromogenic LAL Assay kits for endotoxin on an ad hoc basis. We require flexibility to be able to order a single kit or multiple kits from the same batch as demand requires.
