DAFM - Supply, Delivery and Installation of an Automated Nucleic Acid Extraction System

Education Procurement Service (EPS)

The Department of Agriculture, Food, and the Marine request the supply, delivery, and installation of an Automated Nucleic Acid Extraction System. The instrument must be compatible with Magnetic Bead TNA, RNA/DNA purification from broad range of samples including animal tissue, swabs, blood, body fluids, cells, serum, or environmental samples such as dust and swabs.
The DAFM Laboratories Virology Division provides diagnostic testing and research for a number of diseases caused by viruses infecting animals. In particular, this includes a number of Group 3 viruses, exotic to Ireland, that can cause severe animal disease and in some cases are a serious hazard to employees.
Many of these viruses are highly infectious for livestock and therefore diagnostics require this work to be carried out at Biosafety level 3 plus (BSL3+) containment.
