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, 1.3 NA Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM) detection module with solid-state, high-efficiency, low-noise detectors Side scatter resolution: ~300 nm PERFORMANCE & ELECTRONICS: Event collection rate: 30,000 events/second with up to 15 parameters Data resolution: Fully digital with 7 decades dynamic range Digital sampling rate: 25 MHz Sensitivity: 30 MESF-FITC; 10 MESF-PE; 20 mW, Red >20 mW, Violet >30 mW DxFLEX provides 50 mW Blue/Red and 80 mW Violet). Internal sample needle rinse and low carryover ( 0.5%; observed ~0.006% beads). Fully, digital electronics with wide dynamic range (7 decades). High efficiency analysis at nominal 30,000 events per second for
