The walter reed army institute of research (wrair) brain trauma neuroprotection and neurorestoration (btnn), center for military psychiatry and neuroscience is seeking to purchase the simoa hd-1 digital analyzer by quanterix.

Requirements:

the digital analyzer shall:
-c have the ability to measure multiple biomarkers in biological samples with femtogram/ml sensitivity, analogous to 3000 fold greater sensitivity compared to instruments offered by luminex or mesoscale
-c analyze samples using a single-molecule digital elisa array technology and provide a digital output of the resulting data
-c be fully adaptable to user-customized antibody pairs for analysis via homebrew kits
-c use magnetic beads to bind the antibodies and form immuno-complexes
-c utilize samples as low as 10ul
-c be fully automated such that samples may be fully processed for labeling, washing, reading, and output to a digital display from each set of samples initially loaded into a 96-well plate,
-c contain an internalized system controller interface for the end user
-c be capable of multiplexing such that up to 10 analytes may be measured from a single bead per sample
-c be capable of measuring proteins, peptides, small molecules, and dna with or without purification, enrichment, or amplification
-c contain an automated workflow for which manual processing of samples may be omitted and that samples are automatically drawn, led through binding reactions, then analyzed during a run
-c be compatible with blood (whole blood, serum, and plasma), cerebral spinal fluid, urine, cell/tissue lysates
-c use a small reaction volume
-c achieve less than or equal to 10% variation within sample replicates and have a dynamic range of 4-5 logs
-c include installation and on-site training, a one-year warranty for parts and labor, and an option to purchase a support contract within one year of system purchase date
-c contain manufacturer provided technical support for hardware, software, and application support as well as up to date protocols and application guides

-c north america: 5 - 15r

computer input: 100 - 240 vac ~50 - 60 hz, 300w
ethernet (rj45)

recommended ups tested model apc, model surta 2200xl

voltage 100 v - 240 v +/- 10%

frequency 50 - 60 hz

power consumption mean: 475 w (peak, 950 w)

total input current 10.8 a @100 vac, 4.6 a @240 vac
fuse thermal overload protection

market research indicates only one vendor can provide an assay analyzer that is sensitive enough to differentiate between proteins with an ultra-sensitive measurement unit, enabling the detection and quantification of biomarkers previously difficult or impossible to measure. Only quanterix can provide this equipment and all supporting consumables.
