It includes design, controller, and analyzer software, along with enrichment, cleaning supplies, and specified electrical and dimensional requirements. Installation of the hardware will be performed on-site by a qualified vendor representative at Naval Medical Research Unit San Antonio. Remote software training will be provided by qualified representatives.
