Requirement: The National Institutes of Health (NIH), National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK), is conducting a market survey to determine the availability and technical capability of qualified small business, veteran-owned small business, service-disabled veteran-owned small business or HUBZone small businesses capable of providing Searhorse XFp analyzer (8-well).
NIDDK has a require an instrument to simultaneously measure the two major energy producing pathways of the cell- mitochondrial respiration and glycolysis- in living cells in realtime. Our ongoing research in understanding how deregulation of O-GlcNAc contributes to disease and our development of model systems to assess this question, has highlighted the role of O-GlcNAc in cellular metabolism. However, we have not been able to directly assess and quantify mitochondrial respiration or glycolysis in our various models. The purchase of the Seahorse XFp analyzer will provide us with this capability greatly enhancing our research.
