Kapa Baits for metagenomic sequencing

Summary (Newest Update)

Background The Food and Drug Administration (FDA), Office of Acquisitions and Grant Services, Facilities Support Branch, intends to award a firm-fixed-price purchase order for laboratory reagents to Arbor Biosciences located at 5840 Interface DR STE 101, Ann Arbor, Michigan, 48103-9176. This procurement supports FDA Project No: HFP-2026-133128 and aims to enhance the agency's capability in conducting specialized laboratory research under current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMP) and current Good Laboratory Practices (cGLP) standards. Arbor Biosciences is believed to be the only responsible source capable of providing the proprietary myBaits® Custom capture reagent required for this project. Work Details The FDA requires the purchase of myBaits® Custom hybridization capture reagents equivalent to sixty-four (64) enrichment reactions. These reagents are essential for targeted metagenomic DNA sequencing used to detect and identify arthropod contaminants in food products. The specific details include: - Product: myBaits® Custom hybridization capture reagents - Quantity: Equivalent to sixty-four (64) enrichment reactions - Purpose: Targeted metagenomic sequencing for detection and identification of arthropod contaminants in food products.
