Description

This tender relates to the procurement of a Liquid Handler for the Health NZ Genomics Pilot project in New Zealand, managed via the GETS platform. A liquid handler is an automated laboratory instrument designed to precisely dispense and transfer liquids, crucial for high-throughput screening and analysis in fields like genomics and drug discovery.

The liquid handler is sought to automate repetitive pipetting tasks, thereby increasing accuracy, reproducibility, and efficiency in sample processing. Specific requirements will detail the necessary throughput capacity, precision, types of vessels it can handle (e.g., microplates, tubes), software capabilities for programming workflows, and integration with other laboratory equipment. Suppliers bidding on this tender are expected to be reputable manufacturers or distributors of sophisticated laboratory automation equipment. Key requirements will include providing detailed technical specifications, evidence of product reliability and performance, comprehensive user training, installation services, and ongoing technical support and maintenance. Compliance with relevant laboratory safety standards and data management protocols will also be critical. The goal is to acquire a high-performance liquid handling system to support the objectives of the genomics pilot.
