Advanced Multichannel Multispectral Photodetection System
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is seeking sources for an advanced multichannel multispectral photodetection system for the Biophysical and Biomedical Measurement Group. This equipment will support microscale measurement science by integrating with the Serial Flow Cytometer to perform high-resolution optical measurements of biological micro and nanoparticles. The system will be used by the Physical Measurement Laboratory for hyperspectral fluorescence measurements. This market research aims to identify capable sources and gather feedback on draft technical specifications. Responses will inform the acquisition strategy for a future solicitation. NIST requires a multichannel multispectral photodetector system for the Biophysical and Biomedical Measurement Group’s Serial Flow Cytometer. The photodetector system will support microscale measurement science by providing sensitive, hyperspectral fluorescence data.

NIST requires a complete, multichannel and multispectral photodetector system as listed below in the Scope and specified below in Minimum Requirements. The system will integrate directly into NIST’s Serial Flow Cytometer to perform sensitive, dynamic, and hyperspectral fluorescence measurements of rapidly flowing micro and nanoparticles including cells, gene therapy nanoparticles, and fluorescence calibration particles. Incorporation of the system within NIST instruments requires compatible connections to optical lines and routing of voltage signals to NIST recording devices.
The advanced photodetector system is critical to achieve NIST project missions as it will enable the R&D team to build generalizable, multimodal cytometric tools with world-class deep spectral probing to advance Critical and Emerging Technologies (CETs) in Biotechnology.
