NIGP 49588: Tissue and Organ Culture Equipment: Cell Harvesters, Roller Drums, etc.

NIGP 49588 Tissue And Organ Culture Equipment: Cell Harvesters, Roller Drums, Etc., an Item code, encompasses specialized laboratory equipment used in biomedical research and clinical settings to support cell and tissue culture operations. State and local governments procure cell harvesters, roller drums, and related apparatus under this code to support research institutions, academic medical centers, public health laboratories, and teaching hospitals that conduct cell biology, regenerative medicine, and vaccine development work. The equipment facilitates automated or manual harvesting of cultured cells, maintenance of three-dimensional tissue cultures, and related preparatory functions in controlled laboratory environments.

No recent state or local contract opportunities appear in the available procurement records for this code. Activity under NIGP 49588 remains limited in the state and local market, suggesting either specialized demand concentrated at a small number of research-intensive institutions or procurement routed through existing laboratory equipment cooperative purchasing vehicles and standing agreements rather than open solicitation.
