Acquisition of Two Triple Multitron Standard Incubation Shakers with Top Cooling
Contract Opportunity Analysis
The National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases, part of NIH, is seeking to buy two Triple Multitron Standard Incubation Shakers with Top Cooling to replace existing units that no longer cool properly or hold temperature reliably. The requirement is for triple-stacked incubation shaker systems that can operate independently within each stack and support research culture growth in a small laboratory footprint. Each unit must fit within the available space and standard laboratory doors, provide independent temperature and speed control, reach 15 degrees C below ambient to 65 degrees C, hold 6 x 5L Erlenmeyer flasks per shaker, and include features such as a single bearing eccentric drive, enclosed shaking mechanism, and four blowers for temperature uniformity. The award is described as a firm fixed-price purchase order with delivery expected within 30 days of award to Bethesda, Maryland, and brief informal training required upon installation.
