26/00154 Procurement of a Pipetting robot (FHI)

Tender summary

The Biobanker Department shall procure a modern and flexible pipetting robot that strengthens the department ́s capacity to handle biological samples in a secure, efficient and traceable way. Automated pipetting is necessary to ensure high data quality, reduce manual errors, and maintain stable work processes in the face of increased precision, documentation, and throughput requirements. The system shall support the entire work flow - from aliquoting to transferring data to LIMS. The system shall also enable automated normalisation of DNA samples based on concentration data from external analysis instruments, so that further analyses get standardised concentrations and volume. This requires seamless integration with the existing IT infrastructure and measuring instruments, as well as software that supports data driven and automated pipetting. The robot shall offer flexible and user friendly methods that can easily be adapted to different materials, volumes and laboratory formats - without a need for advanced programming competence. The procurement is for the delivery of one (1) instrument, installation, completed programming, training, a comprehensive service agreement and options on possibly instrument specific consumables and accompanying equipment. The option period shall reflect the equipment ́s expected lifetime. The main objective of the procurement is to increase the capacity and accuracy of handling various biomaterials such as full blood, plasma, serum, urine and DNA.
