24N00338 - Acquisition of cell line necessary to detect Nrf2 activator compounds
About This Opportunity
TranslatedTender 24N00338 concerns the procurement of a specific biological material: a cell line. This cell line is required for the detection of compounds that activate Nrf2. Nrf2 (Nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2) is a protein that plays a crucial role in cellular defense against oxidative stress and inflammation. The acquisition of this specialized cell line is essential for research activities, likely in the fields of pharmacology, toxicology, or biomedical science, where studying the effects of Nrf2 activators is important. The cell line must meet specific biological and purity standards to ensure reliable experimental results. This procurement supports scientific investigation into cellular pathways and potential therapeutic targets. The tender documents will specify the exact characteristics of the cell line, quantity, delivery conditions, and any necessary certifications to ensure its suitability for research purposes. This acquisition is critical for advancing studies related to oxidative stress and related diseases.
This is a supplies contract in the Research, energy and power and security and defense sectors, with a focus on Nuclear, Defense and Scientific Research. Located in Portugal, Europe, this opportunity is open to firms and consortiums, with an estimated budget of EUR 13,270.

Description
Original language: PortugueseThis tender, identified as 24N00338, seeks the acquisition of cell lines specifically required for the detection of Nrf2 activator compounds. The procurement is being conducted within Portugal, with information centralized on the Portal BASE, which serves as the public database for public contracts in mainland Portugal and its autonomous regions. The contracting authority, though not explicitly named in the provided title, is a public entity operating within the Portuguese jurisdiction.
The subject of this procurement is a specialized biological reagent, namely cell lines, essential for scientific research and development. These cell lines are intended to be used in assays designed to identify and quantify substances that activate the Nrf2 pathway. Nrf2 (Nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2) is a critical transcription factor involved in cellular defense against oxidative stress and inflammation.
Typical requirements for such a tender would likely include detailed specifications regarding the cell line's origin, purity, viability, and growth conditions. Bidders may be expected to provide documentation verifying the genetic stability and authenticity of the cell lines. Furthermore, adherence to relevant biosafety standards and regulations, as well as robust quality control measures throughout the supply chain, will be paramount. The tender will likely specify delivery timelines, packaging requirements to maintain cell viability during transit, and potentially post-delivery support or technical assistance. Successful bidders will need to demonstrate a proven track record in supplying high-quality biological materials to research institutions.
