Norway – Real-time Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) equipment – 26/01639 Plate based qPCR machines for FHI

Description

The Norwegian Institute of Public Health, Department for Virology, shall procure preferably 4 real-time PCR machines, with a total limit of NOK 1.6 million, which shall mainly be used for detecting biological agents, with options for the accompanying services, possibly instrument specific consumables and accompanying equipment for as long as the instruments are in use at the Customer.The instruments shall be used to identify and quantify different biological infectious agents. The materials to be examined can contain both very much and very little of the infectious agents. The best way to detect these is through a real-time PCR analysis. Good sensitivity and user friendliness are therefore required. At times the customer is very dependent on carrying out these analyses, not least in a stand-by situation, so the instruments must be robust and handle both small and large sample volumes. The contracting authority has an option for the procurement of a further 1-2 instruments with the same specifications and on the same terms. The option must be taken up within four (4) years from when the contract is signed.
