What the notice says
The proposal is to purchase a new instrument to insure against the breakdown of the current aging and increasingly unreliable model and to additionally expand the use of multiplexing technology for more complex exploratory biomarker discovery.
Purchase of the proposed model would secure the current workflows, keeping the current instrument as an insurance against breakdown. In addition, this advanced model offers an expanded functionality on the current instrument which could increase output based on an increase in the types of projects we could take on.
