Solicitation Number: HHS-NIH-NIDA(AG)-SBSS-75N95019Q00060Title: Automated Cell Culture Processing System2. Classification Code: 6640 Laboratory Equipment and Supplies3. NAICS Code: 334516 Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing4. Description: See Purchase DescriptionThis is a Small Business Sources Sought notice. This is NOT a solicitation for proposals, proposal abstracts, or quotations.
The system must be capable of culturing multiple cell lines with cell line specific protocols.2. It must be able to operate unattended, enabling more effective use of valuable resources3. The system must be able to culture delicate or complex cell lines such as stem cells and primary cells.4. The system must be capable of maintaining stock cell lines for multiple projects.5.
This is particularly challenging when using stem cell and stem cell-derived cells because of the long duration of cultures, frequent media exchange steps to introduce differentiation media, and the high number of steps in the processing protocols. Automated tissue culture enables cell production with greater reproducibility and productivity.
The system must be able to culture delicate or complex cell lines such as iPS cells and primary cells.4. The system must be capable of maintaining stock cell lines for multiple projects.5. The system must be equipped with automated system that decaps/caps screw capped tubes and provides barcode reading of 1-D and 2-D barcodes.6.
It is essential for SCTL to continue using this exact brand of cell culture media to maintain continuity within the experiments conducted since its start.Purpose:SCTL uses the CompacT SelecT automated cell culture system (SelecT) to achieve industrial scale production, and ensure consistent quality between batches of stem cells produced in the lab.
