Description
The University of York requires an upgrade to an existing Union Biometrica BioSorter, consisting of a 1000 μm Fluid and Optics Core Assembly (FOCA) and a 445nm laser. Also required is an extended 3-year warranty covering the original instrument and the required upgrades.
Total Quantity or Scope
The upgrade from a 500 μm FOCA to include a 445nm laser will enable the instrument to detect AmCyan fluorescence, when coupled with two other lasers, and to enable the detection of multiple transgenes allowing mosquitoes and slightly larger BSL L1 larvae to be sampled.

Legal Justification
Union Biometrica is the sole manufacturer and distributor of the equipment and therefore the only party that can undertake the upgrade and provide the warranty which remains better value than purchasing a new instrument.
