Description: The purpose of this acquisition is to acquire repair services to restore equipment functionality to a NT115 Monolith unit. The National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences (NCATS) Automation and Compound Management (ACOMM) and ADST labs are tasked with identifying and developing novel small molecule leads against a wide spectrum of human disease targets, which it accomplishes by screening thousands of small molecules in collaboration with both intra-and extramural researchers. In pursuit of this goal, the Center has a strong internal transdisciplinary team of scientists who continually discover novel small molecules and develop novel disease models for application against a wide range of human diseases. As such, discovering probe molecules and developing human disease models that could serve as starting points for therapeutics is of great interest within NCATS. Repair services are required to restore functionality to a NT115 Monolith unit (Serial Number 201208-BR-003).
