Description

1. - Statement of Requirements

1.2.1. The Unversity of Ottawa is pleased to invite qualified proponents to submit a proposal for an instrument for sizing and concentration of polydisperse populations of extracellular vesicles and nanoprarticles. The requested instrument is a critical piece of equipment required to determine size and concentration of extracellular vesicle (EV) and nanoparticle preparations. The instrument ideally can distinguish subpopulations of nanoparticles or EVs in the size range of 20 nm to 1000 nm with minimal read times per sample and minimal variability. The instrument should measure individual particles to identify subpopulations with polydisperse sizes.

General Description:

The instrument will be capable of measuring the size of individual EVs and other nanoparticles ranging from 20 nm to 1000 nm and provide a reliable concentration of particles in solution in less than 10 minutes per sample. The instrument should be capable of measuring particles of different compositions including biological EVs, lipid nanoparticles, liposomes, gold or silver nanoparticles etc. The system will also be capable of differentiating subpopulations of EVs by size, by measuring large numbers of individual particles. Ideally, but not necessarily, the instrument may provide additional measurements of particles such as Zeta potential or fluorescence.

The instrument should be supplied as a fully operational instrument including all computers and software necessary. The instrument should allow for semi-automated size determination of particles ranging from 20 nm to 1000 nm and of concentrations of 5x107 particles/mL or lower and require minimal amounts of sample. The instrument ideally, but not necessarily, would have at least one laser capable of fluorescence measurement with an excitation wavelength of 488 nm, 520 nm, or 640 nm. Readings should be obtainable in under 10 minutes per sample following instrument calibration. More rapid and robust measurements would be an advantage.

The environment where the equipment will be placed is a regular lab at the University of Ottawa. The instrument footprint should fit within a space of approximately 2 feet by 2 feet not including an associated computer, and require a standard 120 V electrical outlet requiring less than 15A. A bench with minimal vibrations is available for the instrument. Service expectations are once per year during warranty period.

Disclosed Budget:
The University has a maximum total buget of $170,000.00 Canadian for the acquisition of, Instrument for Sizing and Concentration of Polydisperse Populations of Extracellular Vesicles and Nanoparticles. This budget include taxes, transportation, CSA certification and all other associated fees for this instrument.

Proponents are welcome to bid in other currencies as long they take into consideration the proposed budget. Financial evaluation will be evaluated based on the currency exchange rate of the day.

Specifications listed in Appendix A – Technical Specifications Compliance Form of this RFP are the mandatory minimum requirements for a nanoparticle tracking instrument for sudy of extracellular vesicles and nanoparticles.
