The source material for this Reference Reagent comprises serum from multiple (>30) P. vivax-infected donors. To ensure that the Refence Reagent is fit for purpose, and to inform decisions on the pooling of source material from different donors, we require the antibody reactivity profile of this source plasma to be characterised by quantitative suspension array technology (qSAT). Specifically, we require that total IgG, IgG1, IgG2, IgG3, IgG4, IgM and IgE levels of up to 60 serum samples, to 20 Plasmodium antigens, be measured. NIBSC will supply the serum samples and recombinant Plasmodium antigens. Additional information: Contract will be published on our Bravo e-procurement portal. ## CPV classification Plasma extracts Source Contracts Finder (UK) [View official notice](https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/notice/f1ac22b8-c8c0-4d9a-9db7-bc9f014d1bcc) Never miss a tender like this again Get AI summaries, deadline alerts and a bid pipeline for tenders matched to your business.
