Title : TENDER FOR THE DEVELOPMENT AND SUPPLY OF A SALIVA-BASED LATERAL FLOW IMMUNOASSAY

Location Of Contract : B15 2TT

Industry : Laboratory, optical and precision equipments (excl. glasses) - 38000000

Value Of Contract : £230, 000

Description : The University of Birmingham invites tenders for the development and supply of lateral flow immunoassay. The lateral flow is intended to be used to detect antibodies in human saliva samples. Specifically, the lateral flow assay needs to be able to detect IgG-class anti-tetanus antibodies. The lateral flow immunoassay will need to be developed to meet the following key target specifications:High sensitivity detection that can differentiate protective antibody status. To enable its use with saliva specimens, the test will need to have a low limit of detection. The test positivity threshold needs to be equivalent to the WHO protective threshold of 0.1 IU/mL in serum. Proof of concept studies at the University of Birmingham estimate that the protective cut-off in serum is equivalent to ~ 0.0024 IU/mL in saliva. Minimal time to perform, able to be completed with a small number of simple steps and return a result within 15 minutes. Reader-free and return a qualitative (positive or negative) result. The method of saliva sample collection to accompany the test needs to be suitable for use in young children and infants. The test should be able to be completed by a non-specialist and in a co...
