(NU/1668) Supply of a minimum three laser Flow Cytometer

The proposed three/four laser flow cytometer is required to establish an automated foundry which will accelerate our research projects in Synthetic Biology (Engineering Biology), including the EPSRC funded programme grant "Synthetic Portabolomics" Interdisciplinary Computing and Complex BioSystems (ICOS) has been awarded an equipment grant to purchase a three/four laser flow cytometer system with a clear and demonstrable ability to measure a minimum of mCherry, green and yellow fluorescent proteins in a high-throughput manner. We require the instrument to be adaptable to automation upgrades as our foundry progresses, with versatility to allow maximum potential usage. The cytometer will be housed in the Devonshire Building within the Faculty of SAGE, (ICOS, School of Computing).

The scope is for the supply, delivery, and commissioning of the equipment as detailed in the Invitation to Tender document, with after sales support, a minimum 12 months parts and labour warranty and maintenance.
