CM 27/2025_PRR - Acquisition of DNA fragment analysis equipment

Under Decree-Law 60/2018 of August 3rd and to comply with Article 1º-A of the Public Procurement Code and the Interpretative Communication of the Commission - 2006/C 179/02, published in the Official Journal of 01/08/2006, i3S - Instituto de Investigação e Inovação em Saúde da Universidade do Porto - Associação (“i3S”) hereby makes public its need for the Acquisition of DNA fragment analysis equipment.

With the acquisition of this equipment, i3S aims to provide its laboratories with the material resources necessary for the development of its research and development activities in the areas of molecular biology. The equipment aims to introduce automated electrophoresis procedures, facilitating the analysis of PCR-amplified DNA fragments in a faster and safer process.

Using this equipment, we avoid handling hazardous reagents and reduce the production of biological residues. In addition, it will also allow a reduction in the time spent on the daily ‘runs’ carried out by the i3S Cell Culture and Genotyping Service (CCGen), which will significantly reduce the energy consumed by this laboratory process.

The acquisition of this equipment, aims to provide i3S’s laboratories with the material resources needed to develop R&D activities in terms of characterization and analysis of DNA fragments

With the aforementioned acquisition, i3S intends to equip its laboratories with the material resources necessary for the development of its research and development activities, within the scope of project reference UID/PRR/4293/2025, financed by European PRR funds, entered in the FCT budget.
