        "procurementMethodRationale": "The sorting of zebrafish eggs is a key step in their use for biomedical research, however, the current method of manually sorting transgenic zebrafish eggs under fluorescence stereomicroscopes is time-consuming and labour-intensive. Bionomous have developed an automated fluorescence egg sorter that operates similarly to a fluorescence-activated cell sorter (FACS). This system captures multichannel fluorescence images of hundreds of eggs and uses AI analysis to sort them into separate containers, enabling faster and more accurate sorting. Automating this process will free up researchers' time for more complex activities, enable large-scale screening projects, and ultimately facilitate more complex, high-throughput screening and multidisciplinary research. As Bionomous are the sole manufacturer of this instrument, the contract was awarded to Bionomous via the NCA process, on the basis that competition is absent for technical reasons.",
