Lot Information

Lot 1

The University of York requires an upgrade to an existing Union Biometrica BioSorter, consisting of a 1000 mm Fluid and Optics Core Assembly (FOCA) and a 445nm laser. The upgrade from a 500 mm FOCA to include a 445nm laser will enable the instrument to detect AmCyan fluorescence, when coupled with two other lasers, and to enable the detection of multiple transgenes allowing mosquitoes and slightly larger BSL L1 larvae to be sampled. Also required is an extended 3-year warranty covering the original instrument and the required upgrades.
