LIBERTY BLUE UPGRADE (MICROWAVE PEDTIDE SYNTHESIZER) WITH TRADE-IN
Title: Liberty Blue Upgrade (Microwave Peptide Synthesizer) with Trade-In
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the National Center for Environmental Health (NCEH), Clinical Branch, Division of Laboratory Science, Atlanta, GA intends to award a sole source firm fixed price purchase order to CEM Corporation, 3100 Smith Farm Road, Matthews, NC 28106-0200 for an up-grade of current Liberty peptide synthesizer with trade-in of the delivery part for the solvent and reagent.
CLIN 1: This upgrade converts a Discover or Discover Bio System into a fully automated microwave solid phase peptide synthesizer. The upgrade includes the Liberty Blue Fluidics System which is the fluidics module designed to work with the existing discover system to provide the full manipulation of all necessary liquid reagents, and solutions to allow the unattended synthesis of peptides on solid-phase resins. The system synthesizes peptides automatically using Fmoc solid phase chemistry. The system comes with the Liberty Blue operating software. Installation and training is included. Includes: 909410, 908535, 119640, 909440, 55112(4), 330090(2), 216065, 551055-M, 551045, 551030, 551005, 216510, 909425, 216780-M and 551085.
CLIN 2 Resin Loader HT-12 - Resin transfer option that allows the Liberty Blue System to synthesize up to 12 peptides sequentially. The module includes 12 resin positions along with a solvent reservoir.
CLIN 3 Cleavage Option - Microware enhanced peptide cleavage system that includes wash station with incorporated vacuum pump and disposable fritted reaction vessels (4mL and 25mL only).
Clin 4: Shipping.
