Bulgaria – Miscellaneous evaluation or testing instruments – Доставка на оборудване и консумативи за лаборатория „Молекулярна биология“ по 5 обособени позиции

The subject of this public procurement is the supply of specialised laboratory equipment and consumables for molecular-biological analysis, which will allow, at a high scientific level, the definition of the influence of variable factors, conditioned by climate change, on the genetic response of vines, including the expression of genes related to resistance to biotic and abiotic stress, as well as the early detection of pathogens (viruses, bacteria, phytoplasmas and fungi) in vines. The procurement includes the following distinct positions: Distinct Position No. 1: “Supply of consumables for PCR and Real-time PCR for current laboratory work”; Distinct Position No. 2: “Supply of laminar flow cabinets (microbiological class II A2 and for PCR) and laboratory ovens”; Distinct Position No. 3: “Supply of general laboratory equipment”; Distinct Position No. 4: “Supply of Autoclave”; Distinct Position No. 5: “Supply of oligonucleotides (PCR primers)”. The activity is financed as part of the project “Adaptation of viticulture to climate change through the application of ecosystem measures to maintain economic viability (VitiClimRoBg–Hard ROBG00370)”, under the Interreg VI-A Romania-Bulgaria Programme, specific objective: 2.4 — Promoting adaptation to climate change, preventing disaster risk and resilience, taking into account ecosystem approaches. The specialised equipment, subject of this public procurement, is in integration with previously declared components of the project, to achieve an integrated complex approach, directly related to adaptation to climate change. The aim is to supplement field and physicochemical data with molecular-genetic analysis, providing precise, reproducible and scientifically sound results, which will outline the link between climate change and the genetic mechanisms of adaptation of vines, generating consequently the application of sustainable practices for “fighting” the climate footprint and establishing economic viability.
