Quick Summary
The National Institutes of Health (NIH), specifically the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA), is seeking presolicitation information for Mouse Genotyping Services. This requirement supports the Section on Neural Circuits by providing accurate and rapid genetic analysis of tail DNA samples from genetically modified mouse lines. The service is critical for experimental validity and timely research progression. Responses are due June 25, 2026. For inquiries, contact John Burton (burtonjo@mail.nih.gov).
Scope of Work
The selected vendor will be responsible for:
- Receiving tail DNA samples using company-supplied plates and labels.
- Performing genotyping to detect 1 to 8 specific alleles per sample.
- Emailing results within 24 hours of sample plate arrival.
- Storing processed samples for a minimum of six months for potential retesting.
Accurate genotyping and rapid turnaround are essential due to the age-sensitive nature of some experiments. The service forms the foundation for downstream experimental analyses, quantifying phenotypic differences based on genotype.
