AI Contract Overview
The contract involves the acquisition of two new Triple Multitron Standard Incubation Shakers with Top Cooling for the National Institutes of Health (NIH). These units are designed to replace existing models that are no longer cooling properly or maintaining constant temperatures. Each Triple Multitron unit features three stacked incubation shakers within a compact footprint to fit laboratory space constraints, with dimensions not exceeding 43 inches in width and 35 inches in depth. Each individual shaker within the unit must be capable of independently controlling temperature and shaking speed, supporting growth temperatures ranging from 15 degrees Celsius below ambient to 65 degrees Celsius, which allows for diverse culture growth conditions. Each shaker is required to hold six 5-liter Erlenmeyer flasks, resulting in a total capacity of eighteen per unit. The design includes a single bearing eccentric drive to ensure quiet operation with minimal vibration, an enclosed shaking mechanism for maintaining temperature uniformity, and four internal blowers to eliminate temperature dead spots. Additionally, the overall height of each stacked unit must permit passage through standard laboratory doors. The procurement is managed by the Department of Health and Human Services under solicitation number 75N98026Q00394, with responses due by June 1, 2026. The point of contact for this contract is John Burton at the NIH in Bethesda, Maryland.

Full Description
NIDDK owns two Triple Multitron Standard Incubation Shakers with Top Cooling. Each Triple Multitron consists of three stacked incubation shakers within a small footprint. Each of the three incubation shakers within a Triple Multitron is capable of independent temperature and speed control. These features maximize the total amount of cultures that can be grown at the same time, as well as, maximizing the possible growth conditions. Currently, none of the incubation shakers within the two Multitrons cool properly; and they do not reliably maintain a constant temperature. This procurement is to buy two new Triple Multitron Standard Incubation Shakers with Top Cooling.
The following product features/characteristics are required for this requirement:
-
Each triple incubation shaker unit must consist of three stacked incubation shakers in a small footprint to fit within the available space in the laboratory (not wider than 43 inches and not deeper than 35 inches)
-
Each incubation shaker per triple stacked unit must be capable of independently reaching a temperature that is 15 degrees C below ambient temperature to 65 degrees C to accommodate a large range of temperatures to grow cultures.
-
Each incubation shaker per triple stacked unit must have a capacity of 6 x 5L Erlenmeyer flasks (total of 18 flasks per triple-stacked unit) to maximize the volume of cultures grown within the small footprint.
-
The temperature and speed of each incubation shaker per triple stacked unit must be able to be set independently of the others to maximize the variety of growth conditions within the small footprint.
-
Each incubation shaker must have a single bearing eccentric drive to move the main shaft for quiet operation and very little vibration.
-
Each incubation shaker must have the entire shaking mechanism enclosed to ensure temperature uniformity.
-
Each incubation shaker must have four blowers to eliminate dead spots within the cabinet to maintain temperature uniformity.
-
The height of the triple stacked unit must allow it to fit through standard laboratory doors.
