## Summary

The University of Sussex is seeking proposals for the supply, delivery, and installation of a flow cytometry cell sorter, classified under the laboratory equipment category. This tender is currently in the Tender stage, with submissions due by 14th September 2017. The equipment must meet specific criteria, including the ability to perform both bulk and single cell sorting and should accommodate various sorting formats. The contract is set to commence on 1st November 2017 and conclude by 1st December 2017. Delivery is expected at its campus in Brighton (BN1 9RH), United Kingdom.

This procurement opportunity presents a significant avenue for growth, particularly for businesses specialising in laboratory equipment and related services. Vendors that can provide innovative and reliable solutions—including machines with flexible capabilities and strong post-sale support—will be well-positioned to compete. Companies with experience in handling flow cytometry technology and service agreements for high-value scientific equipment will find this tender particularly relevant.

## Notice

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.
