Specifications include, but are not limited to: The project will include a new -80 Freezer. This document defines the requirements for this system. It describes overall requirements that must be met to produce the specific equipment requested. This scope covers procurement, delivery, and start- up support of the specified equipment; no installation is required. The Dakota Bioproducts Innovation Institute is a research facility for the development of high-quality bioproducts. A -80 Freezer has been identified as needed for storage of customer samples and strains for fermentation-based technologies. This will need to securely store customer samples taken during the process, as well as freezer stocks of microbial cultures for use in the production facility. As some of these can be restricted and highly sensitive for commercial value, there is a stringent requirement for security in accessing the freezer. The -80 freezer will be large enough to store multiple days to weeks-worth of samples as well as freezer stocks. The freezer must have a secure mechanism to prevent general access to the freezer.
