BACKGROUND The Biosystems and Biomaterials Division (BBD), Material Measurement Laboratory, NIST performs high-dimensional measurements of engineered microbes to create and characterize biological sensing circuits and test AI-designed nucleic acid and protein sequences. NIST is expanding and upgrading its current Living Measurement Systems Foundry (LMSF) to double the LMSF's capacity by procuring "functional clones" of the existing automation system for microbial culture preparation, growth, and measurement and the existing high-throughput flow cytometry system for high-dimensional microbial measurements. A critical component of the Government's current need is that new systems and instruments operate with i…
