Tender supportCompare the assay workflow and usable yield
Specify the required assay menu and sample workflow before comparing instruments. Reagent pack size alone does not establish usable capacity: quality control, calibration, repeat testing, onboard stability and expiry all affect replenishment.
What to include in the buying brief
- Assay and sample types
- expected patient tests
- QC and calibration workload
- usable reagent yield
- analyzer configuration
- laboratory information-system interfaces
- water and utility requirements.
Ask for a complete offer
An instrument configuration, item-level reagent schedule, usable pack yields and a service and training scope.
Keep the exact model or catalogue reference, purchasing quantity and delivery destination on each line. Compare included accessories, setup tasks and recurring items alongside the headline price. A unit price becomes more useful when the quotation also states the purchasing pack, lead time and the records expected at delivery.
Plan handover and replenishment together
Identify who will receive the equipment or supplies and who will retain the asset, lot or expiry records. For equipment, connect operator training and service responsibilities to the delivered configuration. For routine items, use actual consumption and usable stock to plan the next order.

How this estimate is calculated
Test equivalents = days × (patient tests × (1 + repeat % / 100) + QC tests + calibration tests). Packs = ceiling(max(0, test equivalents − existing test capacity) ÷ usable tests per pack).
Use the manufacturer-defined usable pack yield for your assay and instrument. QC and calibration counts come from the laboratory plan. Onboard stability, dead volume, expiry and partial packs can reduce yield; reflect these in usable tests per pack.
Initial figures are an illustrative example. Adjust them to your requirement before discussing a purchase.
