## Summary

The University of Surrey is currently seeking suppliers for the procurement titled "4 Laser Cell Sorter - Flow Cytometry". This tender falls under the category of goods, specifically electrical machinery and laboratory equipment. The procurement process is at the tender stage, with an end date for submissions set for 12 December 2016. The contract period will commence on 30 January 2017 and conclude on 28 February 2017. The project is located in Guildford, Surrey, United Kingdom, and the procurement method employed is an open procedure.

This tender presents an excellent opportunity for businesses specialising in advanced laboratory equipment and flow cytometry technology. Companies that can provide sophisticated instruments with multiple laser capabilities, as well as those adept at handling complex research requirements, would be particularly well-suited to compete. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to apply, given their agility and innovation in the field of laboratory solutions, which could significantly enhance their market presence.

## Notice

Flow cytometry/ sorting is a technology that allows simultaneous multiparametric measurements and isolation of up to thousands of cells or small particles. Flow cytometry cell sorting is nowadays routinely used in basic research and clinical research. The constant development of more sophisticated instruments fitted with an increasing number of lasers (4 lasers is becoming the norm) allows more and more complex applications. Yellow/Green lasers have been developed more recently and allow the detection of red fluorescent proteins that were only barely detected with the previous lasers. A Yellow/Green laser, in combination with a minimum of 2 or 3 other lasers, has become a necessity to be able to carry on some of the work included in current research programs. In addition to this we also require full sorting capabilities of 12- 16 parameters with the ability to perform 4-way sorting and single cell sorting into 96 well plates.
