UNSPSC 41104819: Cell harvester

A type of device that is manufactured to send the chemicals and cells concurrently to the filter to obtain the cells in mass by filtering the cell only and passing the chemicals when extracting the cell for culturing for certain period by blending the chemical with the isotope and the cell.

UNSPSC 41104819 Cell harvester, a Commodity code, describes laboratory consumables and reagents used in microbiology, wastewater surveillance, and environmental testing operations. State and local governments procure this category to supply public health laboratories, water quality monitoring programs, environmental testing facilities, and research units with DNA/RNA controls, microbe capture reagents, digital PCR consumables, and related analytical supplies. The issuing bodies span state health departments (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment), state transportation and land management agencies (Texas General Land Office, Texas Department of Transportation), and municipal utilities (City of Arlington, Texas), reflecting the breadth of government laboratory operations that depend on these inputs.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas, Colorado, Mississippi, and California. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued an IFB in September 2026 for consumables and instrument parts—including UHPLC columns, detector components, and ion source assemblies—to analyze drinking water samples under the Safe Drinking Water Act, with responses due October 9, 2026 and historical annual value between $50,000 and $75,000. The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment executed multiple sole-source contracts in May 2026 for specialized reagents supporting wastewater surveillance and genomic sequencing: Qiagen wastewater reagents and service ($3.14 million over five years through December 2028), Standard BioTools genomics system reagents and service ($2.3 million plus $1 million for reagents through December 2028), Ceres Nanosciences microbe capture particles ($3.5 million over five years through June 2029), and Twist Bioscience synthetic viral controls and assay panels ($2.3 million over four years through May 2030). The City of Arlington issued an annual requirements contract solicitation in August 2026 for laboratory supplies and chemicals supporting Laboratory Services, two water treatment plants, and the Water Resources Division, with responses due September 17, 2026. Mississippi issued a sole-source notice in August 2026 for 200 LeadSmart3 Standard Kits from EHS Lab for lead testing. The Texas General Land Office solicited water sample collection and analysis services under the Texas Beach Watch Program in June 2026 (deadline April 10, 2026—a backdated notice) for Enterococcus bacteria monitoring at designated beaches.
