The associated North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) Code is 423450, which has a size standard of 100. The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) intends to procure a MACSQuant Analyzer on a sole source basis from Miltenyi Biotec. This is for the study of T-cell and B-cell interactions in the immune response of whether it be a human or from a non-human animal model, and to provide accurate and unbiased analysis of the human immune system. Item/Description/Quantity: 1) MACSQuant Analyzer, #130-092-197, qty-1; 2) MACS MiniSampler, #130-092-535, qty-1; 3) MACS Cooling Tube Rack, 1 x Chill 5 tube rack for 5mL tubes, #130-092-951, qty-1; 4) MACS Cooling Rack - Chill 96, Adapter for 96 -well plates to be used with the MACSQuant Analyzer, #130-094-459, qty-1; and 5) MACSQuant Analyzer - On-Site Training, #160-001-485, qty-1. The MACSQuant Analyzer is the only known benchtop flow cytometer that is small in size (60 x 35 x 40cm) to accommodate confined laboratory space, offers three robust lasers of violet, blue, red that are secured into the optical bench, exact volumetric pipetting using a robotic arm, and the multiparameter flow analysis of seven (7) fluorescence and two scatter channels. The flow cytometer can automatically pre-enrich rare cells prior to the flow cytometry analysis with the integrated MACS technology to enrich for target cell populations by magnetic labeling of cell markers such as antigen-specific T cells, circulating tumor cells, endothelial cells and progenitor stem cells.
