Clone Lentiviral Particles or equivalent

Tender description

The Agency requires to purchase specified Clone Lentiviral Particles or equivalent. An over view of the requirement is: "The project is based on genetic modification of macrophage cell lines with two tagged genes with lentiviral particles such as - 1. Sp110 (NM_175397) Mouse Tagged ORF Clone Lentiviral Particle and 2, Arl8b (NM_026011) Mouse Tagged ORF Clone Lentiviral Particle. We would like to perform a proof of concept theory in-vitro for pathogens of our interest. Ideally, we are planning to order reagents middle of January 2018 and in-vitro work would last for 2-3 months. If the proof-of-concept study looks promising we are planning to order more plasmids and perform more in-vitro experiments." Potential suppliers if they feel they can meet the requirement should email Nawaz.habib@nibsc.org to register an interest. If no submissions of potential interest are received by close of play 28 December 2018, it is then intended to perform a direct award without competition to the sole supplier we believe can deliver this requirement.
