Public Health England awarded a contract to Merk Limited for the provision of custom Milliplex MAP kits for multiplexed biomarker assays, valued at £120,000.

The kits are designed to customer specifications and are used in high-containment research and technical services, including a 23-plex panel for various biomarkers.

The kits must include a serum matrix, two QC samples, standards covering all analytes, and a calibration range set at 10%.

They are pre-mixed to save laboratory time and reduce errors, and are the only kits that do not require prior sample dilution, minimizing manipulations at Containment Level 4.

Following extensive market research, PHE determined that only Milliplex MAP kits meet all mandatory requirements, and Merk Ltd is the sole supplier capable of providing these custom Luminex beads.

No queries were received following the publication of the VEAT notice (2019/S 055-126910).
