DxFLEX Flow Cytometer with Autoloader and CytExpert software System. 3. Background: LAB BACKGROUND Our laboratory currently performs leukemia/lymphoma immunophenotyping by flow cytometry. To increase the quality, safety, and throughput of patient testing, we propose acquiring the Beckman Coulter DxFLEX Flow Cytometer with the DxFLEX Autoloader and CytExpert for DxFLEX software. The DxFLEX is FDA-cleared in the United States for 10-color in vitro diagnostic use with the ClearLLab 10C Reagent System, enabling a much faster path to clinical go-live compared with developing and validating laboratory-developed tests (LDTs). The DxFLEX platform will streamline sample preparation and data acquisition, improve result accuracy, and reduce manual hands-on time and reagent waste. CLINICAL NEED AND RATIONALE We require a modern clinical flow cytometer with automated sample loading, barcode-based positive identification, and stable multicolor detection to support high-confidence leukemia/lymphoma panels. The DxFLEX meets these needs by combining a compact, integrated optical design, high sensitivity detectors, and workflow-oriented CytExpert software with bi-directional LIS connectivity. 4. Scope: The contractor shall provide the following: PERFORMANCE ADVANTAGES •Up to 10-color FDA-cleared clinical configuration for ClearLLab 10C (instrument hardware supports up to 13 fluorescence channels for RUO). •Three solid-state lasers for robust multicolor detection: 405 nm (Violet), 488 nm (Blue), and 638 nm (Red). •High sensitivity for dim populations: ≤30 MESF-FITC, ≤10 MESF-PE, <50 MESF-PB450, and <25 MESF-APC. •Fully, digital electronics providing 7 decades (orders of magnitude) dynamic range for accurate separation of populations. •Nominal acquisition rate of 30,000 events per second with up to 15 parameters (13 fluorescence channels plus forward/side scatter). •Carryover control with observed beads carryover as low as 0.006% in validation studies (≤0.5% specification). •Optimized scatter resolution to resolve lymphocytes, monocytes, granulocytes, red blood cells, and platelets. EASE OF USE AND WORKFLOW IMPROVEMENTS •DxFLEX Autoloader supports up to 32 (12 × 75 mm) tubes with single-tube mixing and integrated barcode reader for positive sample identification. •Compact footprint with onboard fluidics (4…
