Information received will normally be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. Responses should be emailed to Nick Rogers at [email protected]. Competition is being limited due to the vendor's dry stocks and ability to supply 10uL volumes in addition to libraries assembled using in silico compound design processes, including filtering using non-selective compounds.
