The laboratory also profiles biospecimens collected in clinical trials for the presence or absence of specific cell populations or functional markers. TYPE OF ORDER This shall be issued as a Firm Fixed-Price Purchase Order. � PURCHASE ORDER REQUIREMENTS PRODUCT FEATURES/SALIENT CHARACTERISTICS The following product features/characteristics are required: Type of experiments - the instrument must be optimized for research to detect discrete populations of lymphocytes and rare cells using >40 different fluorescent parameters simultanousely Footprint: due to limited space, the equipment must be a compact benchtop model not to exceed 60 x 65 x 55 cm (including automated sample loader). The flow cytometer must have 5 spatially separated lasers (UV/Violet/Blue/Yellow-Green/Red) to allow for simultaneous identification of 40 or more fluorescent parameters from clinical samples and research models using 65 avalanche photodiodes with advanced spectraul unmixing technology to resolve these populations in real time during acquisition. High-throughput sampling: The instrument must include an automated sample loader to allow high-throughput sampling for efficient conduct of the stated research goals. The automated multi-sample loader must be capable of loading 96-well plates.The automated multi-sample loader must be capable of loading 96-well plates.
