1.1 BD CellView Image Technology
The BD FACSDiscover\n A8 incorporates BD CellView Image Technology, a revolutionary camera-free imaging\n system that represents a fundamental advancement in flow cytometry. This proprietary\n technology employs orthogonal frequency domain multiplexing (OFDM) — adapted from\n wireless telecommunications, to generate high-resolution cellular images without traditional\n camera systems.
Technical Implementation:
The CellView system utilises\n radiofrequency-multiplexed excitation of fluorophores, allowing the instrument to\n capture complete cellular images using the same avalanche photodiodes (APDs) employed\n for spectral detection. This approach overcomes the fundamental throughput limitations\n of camera-based imaging systems, which cannot operate at the acquisition speeds required\n for high-throughput flow cytometry (typically 35,000 events/second in high-speed mode;\n 12,500 events/second in imaging mode).
Relevancy for our laboratory
The\n FACSDiscover A8 is the only spectral analyzer capable of meeting DTU's requirements\n for advanced cell analysis. Its integrated CellView imaging technology, unique to\n the BD FACSDiscover platform, enables real-time morphological assessment and spatial\n localisation of fluorescent signals within individual cells, capabilities unavailable\n on any competing spectral analyzer. This allows researchers to visualise protein co-localisation,\n identify cell-cell interactions such as immune synapses, and track nanoparticle uptake\n at subcellular resolution, providing biological context beyond intensity-based measurements\n alone.
Critically, the A8 shares identical optical configuration, calibration\n standards, and software platform (FACSChorus) with our existing FACSDiscover S8 cell\n sorter. This standardisation means panels developed and validated on the A8 transfer\n directly to the S8 without requiring re-optimisation, a workflow impossible with any\n other analyzer-sorter combination. Researchers can perform panel development, compensation\n setup, and sample screening on the A8, then proceed to sorting on the S8 with full\n confidence in data reproducibility. BD's \"perform as one\" calibration philosophy ensures\n that experiments are transferable not only within our facility but across any FACSDiscover\n system worldwide, supporting multi-site collaborations and reproducibility standards.
WORKFLOW\n INTEGRATION AND OPERATIONAL SYNERGY
Identical Optical Configuration with BD FACSDiscover\n S8
As mention above the BD FACSDiscover A8 shares an identical optical architecture\n with our existing BD FACSDiscover S8 Cell Sorter, and this identical configuration\n is essential for our analyses process.
The BD FACSDiscover A8 includes an integrated\n 96-well plate autoloader supporting both standard and deep-well plate formats. This\n automation enables walkaway operation for large-scale screening applications, substantially\n reducing operator time requirements whilst improving cost-per-data-point economics.
3COMPETITIVE\n LANDSCAPE AND SOLE-SOURCE JUSTIFICATION
BD CellView Image Technology represents\n a proprietary innovation protected by multiple patents. No competing manufacturer\n offers comparable camera-free, high-throughput imaging capabilities integrated with\n full-spectrum flow cytometry. Alternative approaches to imaging flow cytometry (such\n as camera-based systems from other manufacturers) operate at acquisition rates 10-100\n times slower than the BD CellView platform, rendering them unsuitable for high-throughput\n applications.
None other platforms offer the CellView imaging technology\n that distinguishes the BD FACSDiscover A8. The superior imaging capabilities of the\n A8, and the identical optical architecture of BD FACSDiscover A8, with our existing\n BD FACSDiscover S8 Cell Sorter, which is essential for our analyses process, combined\n with the advantageous trade-in pricing, position this acquisition as exceptional value\n compared to any non-imaging spectral cytometer alternative.
BD Biosciences\n has offered to accept our BD FACSymphony A5 SE as a trade-in towards the BD FACSDiscover\n A8, providing substantial value reduction. The trade-in credit substantially reduces\n the net acquisition cost to 723,000 DKK, representing a reduction compared to typical\n market pricing for comparable instrumentation.\n \n 6.1 Resultat delkontrakt-ID: LOT-00006.1.2 Oplysninger om vinderneVinder:Officielt navn: Beckton Dickinson Denmark A/S\n \n Tilbud – Identifikator: Tilbud fra Beckton Dickinson Denmark A/S\n ID for delkontrakt eller gruppe af delkontrakter: LOT-0000\n Værdien af tilbuddet: 4.100.000 Dansk krone\n Underentreprise: Endnu ikke kendte\n Kontraktoplysninger:Identifikator for kontrakten: Kontrakt med Beckton Dickinson Denmark A/S\n Datoen for udvælgelsen af det vindende tilbud: 18-12-2025\n Organisation, der underskriver kontrakten: Danmarks Tekniske Universitet - DTU\n \n \n \n \n \n 8 Organisationer8.1 ORG-0001Officielt navn: Danmarks Tekniske Universitet - DTU\n Registreringsnummer: 30060946\n Postadresse: Anker Engelunds Vej 1 \n \n \n Landsdel (NUTS): Københavns omegn (DK012)\n \n Enhed: Katrine Freiesleben Petersen\n \n \n Internetadresse: https://www.dtu.dk\n Køberprofil: https://eu.eu-supply.com/ctm/company/companyinformation/index/165863\n Denne organisations roller:\n Organisation, der leverer supplerende oplysninger om udbudsproceduren\n Organisation, der sikrer adgang til udbudsdokumenterne offline\n Organisation, der underskriver kontrakten\n Organisation, hvis budget anvendes til at betale for kontrakten\n Organisation, der udfører betalingen\n \n \n 8.1 ORG-0002Officielt navn: Klagenævnet for Udbud\n Registreringsnummer: 37795526\n Postadresse: Nævnenes hus, Toldboden 2 \n \n \n Landsdel (NUTS): Østjylland (DK042)\n \n \n \n Internetadresse: http://www.klfu.dk\n Denne organisations roller:Organisation med ansvar for klager\n \n \n 8.1 ORG-0003Officielt navn: Konkurrence- og Forbrugerstyrelsen\n Registreringsnummer: 10294819\n Postadresse: Carl Jacobsens Vej 35 \n \n \n Landsdel (NUTS): Byen København (DK011)\n \n \n \n Internetadresse: http://www.kfst.dk\n Denne organisations roller:Organisation, der leverer yderligere oplysninger om klageprocedurerne\n \n \n 8.1 ORG-0004Officielt navn: Beckton Dickinson Denmark A/S\n Den økonomiske operatørs størrelse: Mikrovirksomhed, lille eller mellemstor virksomhed\n Organisationen er en fysisk person\n Registreringsnummer: 71302814\n \n \n Landsdel (NUTS): Københavns omegn (DK012)\n \n \n E-mail: jens.dyekaer@bd.com\n Denne organisations roller:\n Vinder af disse delkontrakter: LOT-0000\n \n \n 8.1 ORG-0005Officielt navn: Mercell Holding ASA\n Registreringsnummer: 980921565\n Postadresse: Askekroken 11 \n \n \n Landsdel (NUTS): Oslo (NO081)\n \n \n E-mail: publication@mercell.com\n \n \n Internetadresse: http://mercell.com/\n Denne organisations roller:\n \n \n \n Oplysninger om bekendtgørelsenBekendtgørelsens ID: f88c04e4-ce9d-4602-9c52-02f258d73a54 - 01\n Formulartype: Forudgående underretning om direkte tildeling\n Bekendtgørelsestype: Bekendtgørelse med henblik på frivillig forudgående gennemsigtighed\n Afsendelsesdato for bekendtgørelsen: 18-12-2025 13:49 +00:00\n Dato for afsendelse af bekendtgørelsen (eSender): 18-12-2025 14:00 +00:00\n Bekendtgørelsens officielle sprog: engelsk \n Bekendtgørelsesnummer: 00855106-2025\n \n Offentliggørelsesdato: 22-12-2025\n \n \n","htmlEN":"\n\n \n 1 Buyer1.1 BuyerOfficial name: Danmarks Tekniske Universitet - DTU\n Legal type of the buyer: Body governed by public law\n Activity of the contracting authority: Education\n \n \n 2 Procedure2.1 ProcedureTitle: BD FACSDiscover A8 Cell Analyser with BD CellView Image Technology\n Description: DTU will like to buy a BD FACSDiscover A8 5 Laser 78 detectors from BD Biosciences.\n

The trade-in credit substantially reduces\n the net acquisition cost to 723,000 DKK, representing a reduction compared to typical\n market pricing for comparable instrumentation.\n \n 6.1 Result lot ldentifier: LOT-00006.1.2 Information about winnersWinner:Official name: Beckton Dickinson Denmark A/S\n \n Tender identifier: Tilbud fra Beckton Dickinson Denmark A/S\n Identifier of lot or group of lots: LOT-0000\n Value of the tender: 4.100.000 Danish krone\n Subcontracting: Not yet known\n Contract information:Identifier of the contract: Kontrakt med Beckton Dickinson Denmark A/S\n Date on which the winner was chosen: 18-12-2025\n Organisation signing the contract: Danmarks Tekniske Universitet - DTU\n \n \n \n \n \n 8 Organisations8.1 ORG-0001Official name: Danmarks Tekniske Universitet - DTU\n Registration number: 30060946\n Postal address: Anker Engelunds Vej 1 \n \n \n Country subdivision (NUTS): Københavns omegn (DK012)\n \n Contact point: Katrine Freiesleben Petersen\n \n \n Internet address: https://www.dtu.dk\n Buyer profile: https://eu.eu-supply.com/ctm/company/companyinformation/index/165863\n Roles of this organisation:\n Organisation providing additional information about the procurement procedure\n Organisation providing offline access to the procurement documents\n Organisation signing the contract\n Organisation whose budget is used to pay for the contract\n Organisation executing the payment\n \n \n 8.1 ORG-0002Official name: Klagenævnet for Udbud\n Registration number: 37795526\n Postal address: Nævnenes hus, Toldboden 2 \n \n \n Country subdivision (NUTS): Østjylland (DK042)\n \n \n \n Internet address: http://www.klfu.dk\n Roles of this organisation:\n \n \n 8.1 ORG-0003Official name: Konkurrence- og Forbrugerstyrelsen\n Registration number: 10294819\n Postal address: Carl Jacobsens Vej 35 \n \n \n Country subdivision (NUTS): Byen København (DK011)\n \n \n \n Internet address: http://www.kfst.dk\n Roles of this organisation:Organisation providing more information on the review procedures\n \n \n 8.1 ORG-0004Official name: Beckton Dickinson Denmark A/S\n Size of the economic operator: Micro, small, or medium\n The organisation is a natural person\n Registration number: 71302814\n \n \n Country subdivision (NUTS): Københavns omegn (DK012)\n \n Contact point: Jens Dyekær\n Email: jens.dyekaer@bd.com\n Roles of this organisation:\n Winner of these lots: LOT-0000\n \n \n 8.1 ORG-0005Official name: Mercell Holding ASA\n Registration number: 980921565\n Postal address: Askekroken 11 \n \n \n Country subdivision (NUTS): Oslo (NO081)\n \n \n Email: publication@mercell.com\n \n \n Internet address: http://mercell.com/\n Roles of this organisation:\n \n \n \n Notice informationNotice identifier/version: f88c04e4-ce9d-4602-9c52-02f258d73a54 - 01\n Form type: Direct award preannouncement\n Notice type: Voluntary ex-ante transparency notice\n Notice dispatch date: 18-12-2025 13:49 +00:00\n Notice dispatch date (eSender): 18-12-2025 14:00 +00:00\n Languages in which this notice is officially available: English \n Notice publication number: 00855106-2025\n OJ S issue number: 246/2025\n Publication date: 22-12-2025\n \n \n","opsummeringDA":{"card":{"titel":"BD FACSDiscover A8 Cell Analyser with BD CellView Image Technology","ordregiver":"Danmarks Tekniske Universitet - DTU","ordregiverId":"30060946","ordregiverIdDatavasket":"30060946","publiceringsdato":"2025-12-22+01:00","cpvKode":"38433000","cpvTitel":"Spektrometre","formulartype":"Forudgående underretning om direkte tildeling","formulartypeKode":"dir-awa-pre","tidsfrister":[],"alleOrdregivere":["Danmarks Tekniske Universitet - DTU"],"beskrivelse":"DTU will like to buy a BD FACSDiscover A8 5 Laser 78 detectors from BD Biosciences. \nThe instrument will include the following : \n• Forward Scatter: Label-free brightfield imaging channel that measures light scattered at small forward angles by the cell as it passes through the laser interrogation point. • SSC Imaging: Label-free imaging channel measuring light scattered at 90° perpendicular to the laser path, capturing internal cellular complexity. \n• Lightloss Imaging: Measures the total photons lost from the laser beam due to both scattering and absorption by the cell, allowing Label-free brightfield imaging morphological assessment. \n• Channel 1: Fluorescence imaging (530/30nm range) \n• Channel 2: Fluorescence imaging (600/60nm range) \n• Channel 3: Fluorescence imaging (788/225nm range)\n\nThese imaging channels enable spatial analysis of protein localisation, cellular interactions, and morphological characteristics that remain invisible to traditional flow cytometry.
