Tender Overview
The Health and Family Welfare Department of Chhattisgarh seeks an HPLC System (set 1) with NGSP and IFCC traceability, CE and US FDA considerations, and dual HbA1c/HbA2/HbF testing capability. The project specifies an EMD of ₹150,000 and a flexible quantity under a 25% option clause. Desired features include a bidirectional LIS interface, barcode-based sample identification, and an inbuilt system check prior to analysis. The winner must supply a system capable of reporting NGSP and IFCC values on a single patient report and related control/calibrator reports. The BOQ shows no items. This procurement targets high-precision laboratory analytics equipment for clinical chemistry. The tender emphasizes reagent stability, sample integrity, and cross-compatibility with remote collection workflows where applicable. The tender location is Chhattisgarh state, India, with a focus on standard-compliant, hospital-grade laboratory automation.
