Automated Precision Line Dispensing System
1.1 The Naval Medical Research Unit is seeking information on a vendor that can provide an Automated Precision Line Dispensing System for a FIRM-FIXED rate.
OBJECTIVE. The Naval Medical Research Unit San Antonio (NAMRU-SA) requires, via this SOW, a vendor to provide an automated precision line dispensing platform. The automated dispensing platform needs to be optimized for non-contact, precision line dispensing of low volumes onto LFA membrane materials via a jet dispensing system. The vendor must be able to provide a precision line dispensing platform that is tailor-made to the design of LFA test strips and dispensing of antibody and nanoparticle bioconjugates. The equipment requested is instrumental for the reproducible construction of LFA test strips that will be used in our enhanced LFA design for the detection of oral disease biomarkers present in saliva.
