NGS Robot Purchase for RIVM

The Rijksinstituut voor Volksgezondheid en Milieu (RIVM) is seeking to purchase a Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) Robot along with quantification equipment and maintenance services. This NGS Robot will automate the preparation of DNA, RNA, and single-cell samples to create high-quality libraries for sequencing. It must be capable of processing between 8 to 96 samples simultaneously, adhering to various protocols that may be used now and in the future. The NGS Robot will be utilized across all RIVM departments involved in sequencing pathogens, environmental samples, and human biological samples. This procurement is part of the ASSET program, and the goal is to establish a contract with a single supplier for the NGS Robot system, including necessary quantification equipment and both preventive and corrective maintenance services.
