Description

Background

The Canadian Longitudinal Study on Aging (CLSA) is a large, national, long-term study that will follow approximately 50,000 men and women who are between the ages of 45 and 85 when recruited, for at least 20 years. In addition to collecting information on the changing biological, medical, psychological, social, lifestyle and economic aspects of people’s lives, the CLSA collects blood and urine for biomarker analysis. These factors will be studied to understand how, individually and in combination, they have an impact in both maintaining health and in the development of disease and disability as people age.

Scope/Project

This RFI is being issued by the CLSA for the purpose of gathering information on assays that measure tumour necrosis factor (TNF) and interleukin (IL)-6 in serum or plasma. The expected number of participant samples to be analyzed is 10,000. These assays must be adaptable to an automated robotic system.The specific detailed information requirements will be described in Article 4- General Information Requirements.
