service for the ProteinSimple Jess Western Blot machine located in the National
Institute of Mental Health, Division of Intramural Research Programs, Laboratory
of Neuropsychology, Section on Neural Coding and Computation (SNCC).
The Section of Neural Coding and Computation, LN has a molecular and cell
culture facility that develops, produces, and tests viral vector constructs for the
use in monkey brain anatomy and behavioral experiments. Before using a newly
developed construct in valuable monkeys, we need to test functionality in cell
culture via western blots. This test occurs with the Protein Simple Jess system
and is an essential piece of equipment for this task. To continue to ensure the
availability of this instrument, we require a service agreement in which
preventative maintenance is performed as part of the agreement.
Specifically, the NIMH requires the following:
• Technical Support – Phone and Email
• 100% Service labor and travel included
• Complete system coverage
• Onsite repair locator
• Software updates
