PAXGENE Ribonucleic acid extraction, quality control and aliquoting services​This contract is focused on procuring specialized laboratory services to support the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) clinical research activities. Specifically, it requires the extraction, quantitation, normalization, quality control, aliquoting, frozen storage, and shipment of ribonucleic acid (RNA) from 122 PAXgene tubes collected from 50 clinical participants. The services are essential for advancing gene expression profiling, molecular characterization of biospecimens, and subsequent transcriptomic analyses aimed at understanding disease mechanisms and therapeutic targets. The contractor must adhere to rigorous quality control standards, including performing DNase treatment to remove DNA contaminants, ensuring RNA integrity via Agilent instrumentation, and maintaining secure frozen storage conditions. They are also responsible for complete documentation and traceability throughout the processing stages and must notify NIDDK promptly if any specimen is compromised upon receipt. Additionally, the contractor will provide certificates of analysis, donor documentation, shipment records, and maintain the cold chain during storage and shipment. Regular communication with NIDDK personnel regarding order status and shipment tracking is also required to ensure smooth project execution. The contract is managed under the Department of Health and Human Services and will be performed in Maryland.
