II.2.4) Description of the procurement:

The main reason for purchase of two identically instruments is that it will be possible for

us run the Olink HT Explore setup in a more efficient way and use the instruments in both

pre and post PCR.

The Formulatrix FAST is an automated, fast, highly accurate liquid handler, which is used

within the HT explore protocol from Olink to perform sample dilution and incubation. In

the Olink setup there are some strict requirements regarding pipetting, accuracy and speed

that must be fulfilled to successfully perform this setup.

The instrument must be compatible with Eppendorf´s twin.tec-384-well plates, have ultra

low dead volumes and have a rapid plate pipetting motion and tip exchange

Section IV: Procedure

IV.1) Description

IV.1.1) Type of procedure

Negotiated procedure without prior publication

The products involved are manufactured purely for the purpose of research, experiment, study or development under the conditions stated in the directive
The works, supplies or services can be provided only by a particular economic operator for the following reason:
- absence of competition for technical reasons

Explanation:

Today there is only one instrument that is

optimized and validated to run both pre and

post PCR in the Olink HT Explore setup.

Furthermore Formulatrix provide on-site

user training, tailored to the specific needs

for the Olink HT Explore setup. This

training helps ensure that the experiments

are conducted consistently and according to

the established Olink protocol, which is

crucial for maintaining the quality and

reliability of research output.

Another important argument is that we want

to standardize the Olink HT explore setup

between the instruments and be able to use

both instruments in pre or post setup in case

of workload/high throughput. The 2 new instruments must be identical to

ensure internal comparability, data

reproducibility etc. In addition, there is an

economic advantage in having the same type

of equipment as spare parts can be used

across equipment. As CBMR is a large

Center with several users of the F.A.S.T it is

also important that the many users can

switch between the 2 instruments without

further training
