Description

For $51,200.00 in payment authority for a one-time purchase of a QIAgility HEPA/UV Liquid Handling Robot for the Police Department. The instrument is used to set up plates during different steps in the DNA analysis process automatically, and eliminates the need for manual completion of tasks. Currently, the department has two instruments validated, online and in use, and a third instrument is required to maintain operational efficiency, considering the increase in the submission of sexual assault kits and a change to the analysis process.
