It Must Have A Closed Design To Protect Fractions From Dust And Other Free Particles. 3.10 Include All Required Software To Operate The Systems And Compatible With Windows 10 Or Higher. 3.11 Include Doe Module (design Of Experiment) With Operating Software To Enable User Design Experiments For Scouting Parameters Like Flow Velocity, Sample/buffer Ph, Ionic Strength, Chromatography Media Etc., Create Methods And Runs Them. The Module Must Analyze The Doe Results To Provide And Able To Generate Graphical Data Representation. 4.0 Deliverables: 4.1 The Chromatography System Must Be Delivered With Operating Instructions In Either English Or French, User Guide And Instrument Configuration. 4.2 The Supplier Must Install The System At Delivery Address, Perform The Installation Test And Provide The Report. 4.3 The Supplier Must Include Onsite Training Of At Least Two Persons In Either English Or French. 5.0 Delivery And Installation The System Must Be Delivered And Installed At 6100, Royalmount Avenue, Montréal, Québec, H4p 2r2. 4. Applicability Of The Trade Agreement(s) To The Procurement This Procurement Is Subject To The Following Trade Agreement(s) O Canadian Free Trade Agreement (cfta) O Revised World Trade Organization - Agreement On Government Procurement (wto-agp) O Canada-european Union Comprehensive Economic And Trade Agreement (ceta) O Comprehensive And Progressive Agreement For Trans-pacific Partnership (cptpp) O Canada-chile Free Trade Agreement (ccfta) O Canada-colombia Free Trade Agreement O Canada-honduras Free Trade Agreement O Canada-korea Free Trade Agreement O Canada-panama Free Trade Agreement O Canada-peru Free Trade Agreement (cpfta) O Canada-united Kingdom Trade Continuity Agreement (canada-uk Tca) O Canada-ukraine Free Trade Agreement (cufta) 5. Justification For The Pre-identified Supplier The Pre-identified Supplier Is Global Life Sciences Solutions. Due To Commonality And Compatibility With Existing Equipment, The Preidentified Supplier, Global Life Sciences Solutions Canada Ulc, Is The Only One Able To Distribute Cytiva Equipment In Canada. Nrc’ S Hht Research Center Already Owns Multiple Äkta Chromatography Systems. The System To Be Purchased Must Also Be An Äkta For Reason Of Interoperability With Existing Systems And Software. The Aktapure 25m Manufactured By Cytiva Meet All The Requirements And Are Fully Compatible With Existing Systems And Will Integrate Seamlessly Into Our Production-like Environment, Thus Allowing For Repeatability Of Processes, Column Packing Processes And Commonality Of The Operating System (o/s), Parts And Hardware Configurations, Interchangeability And Data Transfer. Hht Develops The Purification Process/technology And Transfers Them To Contract Manufacturing Organizations (cmo) For Gmp Productions. Biologics Manufacturing Center (bmc) And Clinical Trial Manufacturing Facility (ctmf) Will Act As Future Cmos And They Have Manufacturing Scale Akta Chromatography System (akta Ready Gradient) So By Having The Same System Akta Series Of Chromatography Systems In Both R&d Team And Nrc Manufacturing Team (ctmf) Make Purification Process Transfer Seamless And Reduces The Risk Of Process Failure At Manufacturing Scale. Cytiva Is Also The Owner Of The Unicorntm Software. The Unicorntm Software Allows Users To Design Chromatography Steps Based On Parameters Defined By The User And To Automatically Create Methods And Execute Them With The System. The Software Has The Programmed Phases That Can Be Quickly Drag And Drop To Create A Purification Method For Automated Runs In Daily Operations. The Software Also Enables Programming With Flow Velocity In Column Volumes Per Hour (cv/h) And Normalization Of Uv Signal. This Possibility Makes Scaling And Transfer Of Methods As Well As Data Comparison Easier. The Unicorntm Software Also Comes With A Doe Module Which Help Designing The Experiment In Such A Way That Multiple Parameters Can Be Screen In Relatively Small No Of Experiments That Eventually Save Time And Material. 6. Government Contracts Regulations Exception(s) The Following Exception To The Government Contracts Regulations Is Invoked For This Procurement Under Subsection 6(d) - "only One Person Is Capable Of Performing The Contract". 7.
