The Food and Drug Administration's (FDA), Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition (CFSAN) is seeking to obtain a Sorvall WX 80 Ultracentrifuge Series and a TH-641 Swinging Bucket Titanium Rotor or equivalent.

The Sorvall WX 80 Ultracentrifuge Series is needed to develop protocols to isolate viruses from foods. The Molecular Virology team is developing protocols to isolate and detect foodborne viruses from foods and other complex matrixes. This equipment will be used by the research staff to perform a centrifugation step of agents at very high speeds and at desired temperatures. Because of the large volumes used when analyzing food samples (usually more than 250ml) the agency needs an Ultracentrifuge that can accommodate the Fiberlite rotor that can fit large sample tubes and accommodate our processing needs.

Additionally, the Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition (CFSAN) is also seeking to obtain a TH-641 Titanium Swinging Bucket Rotor, to include two (2) 03699 Tube Polyallomer 13 2ml thin-walled 14X89 package of 50; 010-1333 70ml PC Tube Assembly (package of 8); 010-133 70ml PC Tube Assembly (package of 8); EWCEN45 Extended warranted-Centrifuge; 6095 Inside delivery to include uncrating, set-up and removal of debris.
