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

Explanation:

Patented adaptive focused acoustics (AFA) technology is exclusively offered by Covaris. Covaris is the sole manufacturer of the E220 evolution Focused-ultrasonicator, and as such is the sole distributor in Denmark.

The Covaris E220 evolution plus system is a unique and versatile system for AFA of biological samples for numerous applications, including DNA and chromatin shearing, which are essential for a Genomics platform.

The E220 evolution model allows automated batch processing of up to 8 samples simultaneously, and can be upgraded to a 96-well E220 Focused-ultrasonicator for high-throughput processing without the need to purchase a new instrument.

We have extensively tested the Covaris AFA technology in a smaller, low-throughput model and are very satisfied with the high efficiency, robustness, and sample-to-sample reproducibility.

The acquisition of an E220 evolution Focused-ultrasonicator improve processing times and allow us to process a higher number of samples in a streamlined manner. It will also provide flexibility to the Genomics platform, with the option of upgrading if workload increases in the future.
