II.2) Description

II.2.3) Place of performance

NUTS code: DK01 Hovedstaden

II.2.4) Description of the procurement:

luorescent-marked PCR products from the DNA profile analysis in crime cases are separated and detected on Capillary Electrophoresis (CE) instruments. The instrument must be able to:

1) separate minimum 6 fluorescent colors

2) separate PCR fragments with length differences < 1 bp

3) 80 – 500 bp

4) have at least 24 capillaries

5) Electrokinetic injection

6) < 1 hour/injection

To our knowledge, there are no other instruments than Thermo Fishers AB3500XL and SeqStudio Flex on the marked, that meet these requirements.

Besides, AB3500XL and SeqStudioFlex are already tested and validated at DFI which makes

implementation/validation of new instrument shorter and low-cost.

Section IV: Procedure

IV.1) Description

IV.1.1) Type of procedure

Negotiated procedure without prior publication

The works, supplies or services can be provided only by a particular economic operator for the following reason:
- absence of competition for technical reasons
Additional deliveries by the original supplier ordered under the strict conditions stated in the directive

Explanation:

Fluorescent-marked PCR products from the DNA-profile analysis in crime cases are separated and detected on Capillary

Electrophoresis (CE) instruments. The instrument must be able to:

1) separate minimum 6 fluorescent colors

2) separate PCR fragments with length differences < 1 bp

3) 80 – 500 bp

4) have at least 24 capillaries

5) Electrokinetic injection J. nr. 036-0010/18-3600 4

6) < 1 hour/injection

To our knowledge, there are no other instruments than Thermo Fishers AB3500XL and SeqStudio Flex on the marked, that meet these requirements.

Besides, AB3500XL and SeqStudioFlex are already tested and validated at DFI which makes implementation/validation of new

instrument shorter and low-cost.

There is already a SeqStudioFlex which has been tested and validated for use in crime cases. We cannot run samples on two different instruments due to downstream analysis of the results. An instrument from another vendor will always give different quantitative results. This will make a second validation and second analysis pipeline necessary.

All methods and analysis in crime cases are validated according to ISO 17025.
