This very intricate and highly valuable equipment can only be maintained, serviced, or repaired by the original equipment manufacturer.
The purpose of this order is to have a Cell Stream Complete Maintenance & Service Plan for Amnis CellStream Flow Cytometry System with additional 642 nm, 150nW Laser . The Inherited Movement Disorders Unit (IMDU) focuses on mitochondrial dysfunction in genetic forms o fParkinson’s disease. To date, the IMDU researchers have investigated the roles of specific mitochondrial proteins (including Parkin, PINK1, CHCHD2, and CHCHD10) which cause neurodegeneration when mutated. This is for a service contract to keep operational a benchtop flow cytometer with a high sensitivity detector that allows analysis of aspect ratio, size, and fluorescent intensity of cells and isolated mitochondria in a 96 well format, at a high flow rate (up to 20,000 events/s) in order to determine the effect of Parkinson’s disease-causing genes on mitochondrial function, consistent with the mission of the Inherited Movement Disorders Unit.
The material or service must be compatible in all aspects (form, fit, and function) with existing systems presently installed. The current equipment is UG-CS-200642 Amia CellStream Flow Cytometer 642nm Laser Option, 150mW, and the new item/service must coordinate, connect, or interface with the existing system by SLA-FS-COMPLETE/FlowSight Complete Maintenance & Service Plan .
Amnis CellStream Flow Cytometry System with additional 642 nm, 150nW Laser in this lab is the critical component in the carrying out the lab’s mission and is a technological advanced device that requires routine maintenance and upkeep. This is Service contract for 1 year.
