The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), National Institutes of Health (NIH), National Cancer Institute (NCI), Cancer Research Center (CCR), Clinical Research Correlatives Core (CRCC) has a need for one (1) Brand Name Cytek Aurora 5 Laser Spectral Flow Cytometer with and Automated Sample Loader (ASL).
This is not a small business set-aside and all qualified vendors are encouraged to submit a quote.The Naval Medical Logistics Command (NMLC) requests responses from qualified sources capable of providing an Automated Flow Cytometer meeting the following essential characteristics:ESSENTIAL CHARACTERISTICSThe requirement is for one (1) Cytometer, Automated, Flow for Naval Medical Research Unit Dayton (NAMRU-D).
Equipment Description: Manufacturer BD Biosciences Model # - FACSCanto II with automated loader SN V96100771 (FACSCanto II SN - F06500621 (automated loader) PERFORMANCE REQUIREMENTS: The Contractor shall provide a full range of flow cytometry assays, brand name or equal to Becton Dickenson FACSCanto II compatible (refer to appendix) on a flow cytometer in the Infectious Diseases Laboratory (GE-231), assigned to The Pathology & Laboratory Medicine
The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) is requesting to procure the following :Cytek Aurora 5 Laser UV/V/B/YG/R (64+3 Channel) – includes: 5 laser flow cytometer, workstation (computer, monitor, keyboard, mouse), one (1) additional copy of the SpectroFloTM, fluidic reservoirs, QC and consumable parts kit, and 5-year warranty – Part #N9-90215, qty-1 eachCytek Automated Sample Loader (ASL) 2.0 includes: 96 well plate sampling
Vala’s Kinetic Image Cytometer (KIC) is an automated microscope designed to quantify effects of compounds on calcium and voltage transients for neurons cultured in 96- or 384-well dishes. For the PIDA, RealDRGs will be loaded with a calcium indicator, and effects of potential pain modulators on responses to noxious stimuli will be quantified with the KIC.
& Salient Characteristics or equal The Vendor will supply a flow cytometer that requires the following specifications: Must have spatially separated beams to minimize emission signal overlap.
Page 1 section “Technical Requirements” lists “Software must be compatible with existing CBER Center cytometers for ease and accuracy of assay replication.” Does this mean it must be the same manufacturer or just the data that needs to be compatible?Response: Please see amendment 1 for changes that should clarify the question. 4.
