Description

We wish to purchase a droplet reader to work with existing droplet digital PCR hardware: a Bio-Rad automated droplet generator and a Bio-Rad C-1000 Touch thermal cycler. The droplet reader is needed to analyse individual droplets which have undergone PCR amplification. The droplet reader must use a two-colour system of analysis detecting FAM, VIC, HEX and EvaGreen fluorescent dyes. The data provided by the reader should be suitable for absolute quantification analysis of target DNA by Bio-Rad QuantaSoft software.
If you wish to express an interest in supplying exactly this requirement to the National Institute of Biological Standards and Control, please email the contact on this notice by Friday 11th October 2019.
