Questions and Answers


Q1: In the specifications document attached related to this RFQ, it states, "equipped with Vanquish proprietary long-life 1500 bar biocompatible 2-position 6-port valve ( VALVE 2-P 6-P 150MPA BIO, VH-C)".  This valve is not a part associated with the requested item "Quarternary Pump F (VF-P20-A)" nor an option for the pump.  It is an optional item for a Vanquish HPLC column oven that is a separate instrument module and is not referenced in the RFQ.  Should this just be ignored or should this valve be added to our quote as part of our response?  


A1: The requested pump should not be necessarily equipped with the referred valve at the manufacturer’s facility. The valve is an optimal item that can be installed on the pump within 5 minutes by the end user. However, for our research, this valve is essential to the instrument setup and its functionality, and cannot be ignored; it should be added to our quote.
