Scientific Equipment Maintenance 2 ION Chef Sequencers (ION S5 XL and ION S5 Prime)

The laboratory of Neurogenetics conducts genetic analyses of DNA samples to determine the genetic contribution to various mental health conditions including alcohol use disorder. One method used to determine genetic contribution is sequencing of both DNA and RNA from various sources (human and animal blood and/or tissues can be sequenced with the ION Proton sequencing systems). The purpose of this contract is to obtain preventative maintenance and emergency repair service when needed for our ION Sequencing systems including one Chef (SN 242470813) and 2 sequencers: S5XL (SN 2772817050213) and S5 Prime (SN 2773919070236).
