The U.S. government seeks to acquire a sophisticated real-time PCR system to enhance discovery research, specifically for high-sensitivity gene expression quantification, genotyping, and multiplex analysis. The required system must have a 96-well or 384-well block with fast protocols, specific excitation and detection technology, independent temperature zones, a touchscreen with cloud connectivity, and compliance with 21 CFR Part 11. It must complete a 40-cycle run in under 30 minutes for a 96-well block or 35 minutes for a 384-well block and be factory-calibrated for a listed set of dyes. No specific budget, performance location, or non-bid/procurement timelines are detailed in this description.
