An automated high-throughput system for microvolume screenings with a working volume of <10 mL
About This Opportunity
TranslatedThis tender, specifically Lot A, concerns the procurement of an automated high-throughput system designed for microvolume screening applications. The system is required to operate with a working volume of less than 10 mL, indicating a focus on miniaturized assays and efficient use of reagents. The primary objective of this system is to facilitate the efficient execution of parallel experiments, a critical capability for modern process development. Such a system is expected to enhance research and development activities by enabling rapid testing of multiple conditions or samples simultaneously. Key requirements likely include high precision, reproducibility, and integration capabilities with existing laboratory infrastructure. The system should be capable of handling complex experimental workflows, potentially involving sample preparation, reaction, and analysis steps, all within a microvolume format. This procurement aims to equip facilities with advanced technology to accelerate innovation and optimize development processes in fields requiring high-throughput screening, such as drug discovery, materials science, or chemical process optimization. The emphasis on microvolumes suggests a need for cost-effectiveness and reduced waste, aligning with current trends in sustainable laboratory practices.
This is a supplies contract in the Research and general supplies sectors, with a focus on Laboratories and General Supplies. Located in Switzerland, Europe, this opportunity is open to firms and consortiums.
