Technical requirements: Procurement of modern equipment in accordance with a project co-financed by the Ministry of Education and Science
Procurement of modern equipment in accordance with a project co-financed by the Ministry of Education and Science divided into 4 lots
- Capillary electrophoresis genetic analyzer based on fluorescent detection with up to 6 unique fluorescent dyes in a single rection capable for simultaneous analysis of 8 samples. The instrument should be fully automated beginning from polymer insertion, DNA separation, data detection and analysis to generating results by determining the DNA sequence or size of the DNA fragments.
The instrument should include a thermal system designed to control the temperature of electrophoresis in the range of 18 to 70 ⁰C.
• Data collection software - software that controls the instrument, automatically collects and analyzes the generated data, and generates sample files including reports from sequencing, fragment and human identification analyses.
• Software for complete analysis of DNA sequencing results (Sequencing Analysis Software with KB™ Basecaller or equivalent).
• Genotyping software that provides DNA fragment sizing analysis for all electrophoresis-based systems including amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP), loss of heterozygosity (LOH), microsatellite analysis, SNP genotyping, and human identification (GeneMapper® or equivalent).
• DNA fragment analysis software (GeneMapper® or equivalent), DNA sequencing analysis aoftware (DNA Sequencing Analysis Software with KB ™ Basecaller, Variant Reporter or equivalent) and human identification obtained on this instrument
- the offer to include free installation together with all necessary reagents for verification of DNA sequencing and DNA fragment analysis.
- Digital PCR instrument for detection and quantification of nucleic acids and determination of rare alleles without the need for a standard curve, with the following characteristics:
- to have a computer unit with installed software for collection and analysis of fluorescence data, which has the ability for flexible editing of thermal protocols including the individual phases of the PCR reaction, allows editing and recording of the plate layout, as well as a minimum of the following pre-optimized protocols: absolute quantification of DNA and RNA, genotyping, CNV analysis and detection of rare mutations.
To have the possibility for complete automatic simultaneous processing of at least 96 samples with PCR step included.
- Capability of working with magnetic beads for automatic nucleic acid purification (e.g. magnetic stand and orbital mixer should be included).
- To have a built-in thermocycle with a minimum of 96 positions which is fully integrated in the automatic protocols of the instrument.
- To have a possibility for monitoring of the process in the workspace and a display of protocol errors.
