25/02068 - Procurement of Detection multiplex reader with associated service agreement and framework agreement for consumables (FHI).

Description

The Norwegian Institute of Public Health (NIPH) (hereinafter referred to as the "Customer") intends to procure a multiplex protein detection system with dual-reporter fluorescence for immunological analyses, specifically for the simultaneous detection of multiple antiities isotypes and specificities within a single sample. This investment aims to strengthen laboratory capacity in the areas of surveillance, preparedness, research, and the national vaccination program. The procurement includes a multiplex detection instrument along with accompanying software, installation, training kits, warranty, and long-term service and maintenance. A framework agreement for the future purchase of system-specific consumables and post-warranty maintenance services is also required. See appendix 4 chapter 2 for further information. The instrument must support high-throughput immunological analyses with dual-reporter fluorescence. It should be compatible with existing Luminex/Bio-Rad-based workflows (e.g., Bio-Plex Manager 6.2) or similar solutions. This strategic investment is expected to improve operational efficiency, data integrity, and scientific output.
