This system is equipped with five lasers (355nm, 405nm, 488nm, 561nm, and 640nm), three scatter channel detectors, and 64 fluorescence channel detectors spanning the light spectral range of 365nm to 829nm. The Cytex Aurora Laser Flow Cytometer System also comes with the automated sample loader, basic start-up 2 day on site training and a one-year warranty. Government Scientific Sources Inc. is the only SB authorized distributer for the OEM Cytek Biosciences Inc. available in the USA for the Cytex Aurora Laser Flow Cytometer System.
Since the intent is to procure this on a sole source basis, no solicitation will be posted to FedBizOps (FBO).

The authority for this action is FAR 6.302.1-1 Only One Responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements.
