Modular Bioreactor System

PAGE 2 OF 3

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: A modular bioreactor system for parallel processing and testing of growth

conditions for bacterial and mammalian cell species.

Purchase Intention: NCSU will be pursuing the capability to monitor up to 8 process runs in total;

four in our fermentation lab and 4 in the cell cultivation lab.

Additional information: These units should be as compact and self-

contained as possible to minimize footprint but deliver data through integrated system software on a

continual basis during parallel processing runs. Appropriate probes and sensors in re-usable

bioreactors for both microbial and cell cultured species will also be fitted with additional ports to be

used for additional probes and/or sensors deemed necessary by the investigator. Working volume for

these systems should be up to 250 ml. We prefer systems that can be run aerobically and

anaerobically.

EXECUTIVE ORDER NO. 50 (PRICE-MATCHING PREFERENCE):

Pursuant to North Carolina General Statute § 143-59 (G.S. § 143-59) and Executive Order No. 50 issued by

Governor Perdue on February 17, 2010, entitled “Enhanced Purchasing Opportunities for North Carolina

Businesses,” a price-matching preference may be given to North Carolina resident bidders on contracts for the

purchase of goods. This preference will allow a qualified North Carolina resident bidder to match the price of the

lowest responsible nonresident bidder, if the North Carolina resident bidder’s price is within five percent (5%) or

price-matching preference, the resident bidder will first be offered the contract award and it will have three (3)

business days to accept or decline the award based on the lowest responsible nonresident bidder’s price.

Commerce, Correction, Crime Control and Public Safety, Cultural Resources, Environment and Natural Resources,

other State Agencies are encouraged to implement the requirements of the Executive Order #50 and vendors should
