Automated Coagulation System

Tender description

The agency is looking to purchase an automated analyser capable of performing both chromogenic (OD based) and mechanical (clot based) coagulation assays of the same blood/blood derived samples on the same instrument. Capabilities must include factor assays (specifically FVIII), fibrinogen and vWF:RCo. We are under the impression that there is only one supplier which can provide such a machine. Before we proceed any further, we would like to check if others can supply these items or equivalent? If you can do this, please email to Nawaz Habib (nawaz.habib@nibsc.org) to register an interest. If no submissions (by close of play 27 February 2019) of potential interest are received, it is then intended to perform a direct award without competition to the sole supplier we believe can supply this analyser.
