Short description
The Department of Agriculture, Food, and the Marine request the supply, delivery, and installation of an Automated Nucleic Acid Extraction System. The instrument must be compatible with Magnetic Bead TNA, RNA/DNA purification from broad range of samples including animal tissue, swabs, blood, body fluids, cells, serum, or environmental samples such as dust and swabs.
The DAFM Laboratories Virology Division provides diagnostic testing and research for a number of diseases caused by viruses infecting animals. In particular, this includes a number of Group 3 viruses, exotic to Ireland, that can cause severe animal disease and in some cases are a serious hazard to employees.
Many of these viruses are highly infectious for livestock and therefore diagnostics require this work to be carried out at Biosafety level 3 plus (BSL3+) containment.

Many of these viruses are highly infectious for livestock and therefore diagnostics require this work to be carried out at Biosafety level 3 plus (BSL3+) containment. This differs from other DAFM BSL 3 laboratories in that it requires stricter controls and decontamination procedures, e.g the requirement for full body showering before leaving the facility and 72hr self-imposed quarantine. It is a Biosecurity requirement that all equipment, materials, and waste is decontaminated at the containment barrier prior to removal from the containment zone.
