    Brief

    This procurement opportunity seeks supply, delivery, and installation of a liquid handling system to automate PCR cherry-picking and related laboratory processes within the Mycorrhizal Lab as part of the NCEA project. The system must be capable of accurate low-volume pipetting, support multichannel operations for increased efficiency, be compatible with standard laboratory plastics and consumables, and include professional installation services. The automated system will enhance laboratory productivity, improve precision in sample processing, and reduce manual handling errors in high-throughput molecular biology workflows.
