Description

The intent of this RFI is to receive feedback from the marketplace regarding a commercial Health Canada approved molecular multiplex assay for detection of Giardia duodenalis (syn. G. intestinalis, G. lamblia), Cryptosporidium spp., and Entamoeba histolytica in fecal specimens. The availability of additional targets on the same assay for other protozoan organisms such as Cyclospora, Cystoisospora, Sarcocystis, Balantioides, Dientamoeba fragilis, or Blastocystis is also of interest. Detection should be direct from clinical fecal specimens (e.g. feces or fecal swabs).
Scope of Work
PHO is seeking an assay to potentially partially replace or supplement current microscopy-based methods for identification of the listed organisms. PHO has no firm plans or timelines for implementation at this time, and is seeking information on available products in order to help address the availability and feasibility of the new test method as a potential replacement. PHO anticipates that, should it proceed with implementation of a new molecular assay test method, the estimated volumes would be in the region of 20,000 to 40,000 tests per year across PHO laboratory locations, although exact siting is not yet established.
