UNSPSC 41115721: Fast protein liquid chromatography FPLC system

A type of column chromatography system used to separate or purify proteins from complex mixtures. It is very commonly used in biochemistry and enzymology.

UNSPSC 41115721 Fast protein liquid chromatography FPLC system is a Commodity code that captures specialized analytical laboratory instrumentation and consumables procured by state and local governments for forensic, environmental, and water-quality testing operations. Recent state and local solicitations under this code show purchases of liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry systems for crime labs and forensic laboratories, as well as laboratory testing services and specialized consumables (including OASIS WAX cartridges and SPE cartridges for PFAS and Dioxane analysis) required to support water quality, wastewater, and environmental regulatory compliance programs. Issuing bodies include county sheriff's offices and their forensic laboratories, municipal water and wastewater utilities, and city water quality departments. Forensic laboratory purchases typically bundle the instrument itself with delivery, installation, training, and integration services; environmental and water-quality testing scopes are performed by certified analytical laboratories meeting Florida Department of Environmental Protection or equivalent state certification standards and holding NELAP accreditation.
