Description

Primary Latest Change

The ChemiDoc Go incorporates a 20.4-megapixel back-illuminated complementary metal oxide semiconductor detector, providing high pixel density and signal-to-noise performance necessary for: Small-format gel imaging Accurate band densitometry Stain-free normalization workflows Continuity with previously generated datasets Alternative systems utilize lower-resolution charge-coupled device sensors or line-scan architectures that do not match current imaging parameters used in validated laboratory standard operating procedures. The ChemiDoc Go includes a built-in 9.7-inch touchscreen color interface, enabling full standalone operation without the need for an external computer.

Summary (Newest Update)

Background The contract is issued by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) for the procurement of the ChemiDoc Go Imaging System with Image Lab Touch Software. Bio-Rad Laboratories, located at 2000 Alfred Nobel Drive, Hercules, CA 94547, is the sole source contractor identified for this award. The NIH's mission includes supporting research that advances health and medical knowledge. This contract aims to fulfill specific laboratory imaging requirements critical for ongoing research efforts. Work Details The ChemiDoc Go Imaging System features a 20.4-megapixel back-illuminated complementary metal oxide semiconductor detector that ensures high pixel density and signal-to-noise performance necessary for various applications including: - Small-format gel imaging - Accurate band densitometry - Stain-free normalization workflows - Continuity with previously generated datasets. This system includes a built-in 9.7-inch touchscreen color interface allowing full standalone operation without needing an external computer. This capability is crucial for avoiding NIH IT cybersecurity configuration requirements, eliminating additional workstation procurement, reducing validation burden, and simplifying training and workflow integration. Competing systems may require external personal computer control, which introduces additional IT and security overhead.
