Description

The Medical Genetics Department at the University Hospital of North Norway (UNN) shall procure a sequentialator from PacBio to read long fragments of DNA and RNA sequencing (long-read sequencing, LRS). The instruments shall be used for diagnostics and shall replace and supplement the current diagnostics based on short-read sequencing (SRS). This is because LRS detects some types of genetic variation better than SRS, e.g. major structural deviations and methylation status. Method transfer shall therefore be carried out from the current SRS to a new LRS for selected medical indications and it is therefore very important that these sequentators deliver a sequence of very high quality and reproducibility. Of the above mentioned reasons, PacBio, as far as the contracting authority is aware of, is the only supplier who can fulfil the requirements. The terms in PPR § 13-4 (b) no. 2 are considered fulfilled.
