AI Summary
The FDA seeks a Dynamic Light Scattering instrument to analyze particle sizes and distributions, particularly for microplastics and nanoparticles in food products. This Source Sought notice invites interested vendors to provide information on their capabilities to meet these requirements.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), Human Foods Program, Office of Chemistry and Toxicology, Division of Analytical Chemistry, requires one (1) Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS) instrument system to measure particle size, particle size distribution, zeta potential, electrophoretic mobility, concentration, refractive index, sedimentation, transmittance, molecular weight, and microrheology of dispersed particles and molecules. The instrument will characterize nano-sized (approximately 1–1000 nm) particles in color and food additives and will support broader analysis of food products that may contain engineered or incidental nanomaterials, including the detection and characterization of microplastics and nanoplastics in food matrices.
DYNAMIC LIGHT SCATTERING SYSTEM (MICROPLASTICS AND NANOPARTICLES) is a federal acquisition solicitation issued by DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES. Review the full description, attachments, and submission requirements on SamSearch before the response deadline.
