A -- MINIATURE FLOW CYTOMETER FOR MICROORGANISMS Sol IPO-95-271. Contact Dr. Gary Salzman, Life Sciences Division, MS M888, Los Alamos, NM 87544, TEL: (505) 667-5503, FAX: (505) 665-3024, E-Mail salzman@lanl.gov. The University of California which operates Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) under contract to he Department of Energy (DOE), is seeking an industrial partner(s) in the field of flow cytometry. LANL is developing a miniature flow cytometer (miniFCM) for use in detecting and identifying microorganisms. The industrial partner 1) shall assist with the development and testing of the miniFCM, 2) shall engineer the miniFCM to a production level, and 3) shall establish a manufacturing capability for at least 50 units per year for the miniFCM. Industrial partners are being sought to enter into a CRADA (Cooperative Research and Development Agreement) or licensing agreement. Any company interested in pursuing this opportunity or in receiving more information should respond with a brief statement of interest describing the company's technical expertise in the development of biomedical instruments such as flow cytometers, and previous technology transfer experience. The statement of interest must be dated within 30 days from the date of this notice. A Potential Partner Workshop presenting the miniFCM project and the commercialization mechanisms available may be held dependent on the number of responses received. (079)
