The supply of Flow Cytometry.

New equipment is required to replace our current flow cytometry and ancillary equipment. Solutions are required for refining the whole workflow process through pre-analytic, analytical and post-analytical phases.

The departmental requirements are split into 2 lots:

Lot 1: Pre-analytical processor(s) and flow cytometer(s):

(i) more than one flow cytometer of the same model capable of detecting deflected light (forward and side scatter) and a minimum of 10 fluorescence emissions analysis and able to analyse unlimited events per sample tube;

(ii) pre-analytical sample handling/antibody cocktail automation system. This should have the ability to pipette antibody cocktails;

(iii) 1 cell washer.

Lot 2: CD4 monitoring and TBNK enumeration:

(i) more than 1 fully automated CD4 count and TBNK sample processor.

Each lot will be evaluated separately and may be provided by the same or different manufacturer. Separate costs for each lot should be provided.
