The government requires a multi-mode microplate reader capable of real-time fluorescence, UV/Vis absorbance, and luminescence measurement. Key specifications include a linear variable monochromator with tunable band passes up to 100 nm, a tunable dichroic mirror for an air-based light path, and auto-ranging detector sensitivity for fluorescence. Absorbance must be captured via a dedicated spectrometer with a diode array, providing a full 220-1000 nm spectrum at 1 nm resolution in under 0.5 seconds. The instrument requires heated optics up to 45°C, bottom reading, two reagent injectors, and atmospheric control for CO2 and O2 at 5% CO2. It must include software for data visualization and analysis; no budget, bid timelines, or performance location are specified.
