Anoxomat III Jar System 75D30124Q78383 This contract action is for supplies that the Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source under the authority of FAR 13.106-1(b) (SAP) and 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1), Advanced Instruments, LLC(AI Companies). Interested persons may identify their interest and capability to respond to the requirement or submit proposals. We have a need for a cutting-edge laboratory jar system that uses evacuation technology to automatically vacuum and fill reusable jars with customizable gas recipes to support growth of anaerobes as well as microaerophiles and capnophiles. The Anoxomat software has several quality checks and balances to ensure the desired growth atmosphere is achieved and maintained, jar technology ensures humidity remains stable during incubation, and the system has the capability to print use and Quality Control/Quality Assurance (QC/QA) documentation for each run via an attachable printer for Quality Management System (QMS) and Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (CLIA) record keeping. The upgraded Anoxomat III jar system would not only be compatible with the jars we currently have but could also be used with upgraded ergonomic stacking jars to save incubator space. The new Anoxomat system also utilizes disposable multiple-use catalyst sachets, which will no longer need to be regenerated on a regular basis. Quality and performance measures are extremely important within our laboratories. The accuracy and efficacy of our experiments is paramount to our lab work.
