## Description

Vendor will provide Test Kits as needed to perform testing on VA owned molecular analyzer, located in the VA Portland Medical Center Microbiology Department.

The instrument processes kits that must utilize a multiplex PCR (polymerase chain reaction) method, have FDA-cleared assays that simultaneously tests for as many as 20 respiratory pathogen targets, has testing capability to test for common GI pathogens including viruses, bacteria, and parasites with at least 20 targets, at least 40 blood culture identification targets, and up to 14 meningitis/encephalitis targets inclusive of bacteria, viruses and fungi.

The method should have very little hands-on time (2 minutes or less) to set up and have results for respiratory pathogen targets, blood culture, GI pathogens and meningitis/encephalitis targets in one hour. The technique must perform amplification, detection and analysis in one self-contained system. The VA equipment includes software that automatically generates a result for each target in a single report.
