Description

The University is looking to purchase a flow cytometry cell sorter with the following characteristics:

o Capable of both bulk and single cell sorting based on fluorescent intensity.
o Should be applicable to both live and fixed cells and be flexible in terms of sorting format (ie, tubes, and different plate sizes ranging from 6-well to 96 well).
o We are looking into a machine that runs with two lasers for GFP and mCherry sorting, but should ideally be upgradable to a third laser either for UV, or far-red dyes. We would invite to submit quotes for a) two laser system, b) three laser system and c) third laser upgrade options.
o The equipment should be user friendly and easy to use. A key feature we are looking for is fixed alignment optics to allow rapid starting times and minimal maintenance requirements.
o The tender proposal should include an initial warranty and should also include service contract options for a period of five years.
