Short description

Tenders are sought for the provision of a DNA Sequencer and a Robotic Liquid Handler. Both will be housed in the Next Generation Sequencing Facility in Moorepark. Until now, DNA sequencing undertaken at the Irish NGS Centre has focused on the identification and characterisation of gut and food microorganisms important to health and disease (genomics/metagenomics). The new DNA sequencer will not only support the existing sequencing equipment, but will expand the facilities’ current capabilities by increasing the depth of sequencing that can be achieved. The Robotic Liquid Handler will be used for DNA/RNA extraction, PCR purifications and PCR and NGS sample prep.
This tender consists of 2 lots, Tenderers can submit proposal for multiple or individual lots.
• Lot 1 DNA Sequencer
• Lot 2 Robotic Liquid Handler
