None received. Decision: Approved. We 

know of no instruments of equivalent 

scientific value to the foreign 

instruments described below, for such 

purposes as this is intended to be used, 

that was being manufactured in the 

United States at the time of order. 

Reasons: The instrument will be used to 

support the fabrication of devices 

comprised primarily of both 

commercially available and in house 

developed UV curable polymers. 

Biomaterials and other biopolymers that 

have been specifically designed to be 

cured using a radical polymerization 

process will also be investigated in this 

device. Any polymer or biomaterial that 

can be ablated using the wavelength and 

power available in the Nano scribe 

system will also be used for subtractive 

manufacturing. 

Docket Number: 18–001. Applicant: 

William March Rice University, 

Houston, TX 77005. Instrument: 3DDiscovery Bioprinter and Direct Write 

Electro spinner. Manufacturer: regnum, 

Switzerland. Intended Use: See notice at 

83 FR 31120, July 3, 2018. Comments: 

None received. Decision: Approved. We 

know of no instruments of equivalent 

scientific value to the foreign 

instruments described below, for such 

purposes as this is intended to be used, 

that was being manufactured in the 

United States at the time of order. 

Reasons: The instrument will be used 

for a multitude of techniques across 

disciplines ranging from biology to 

materials science, chemical engineering 

and bioengineering. Techniques like 

thermoplastic and hydrogel extrusion, 

3D printing, 2-component printing, cellbioprinting, electrospinning/direct write 

electrospinning, drug/factor 

encapsulation. 

Docket Number: 18–002. Applicant:

Prevention, Atlanta, GA 30333. 

Instrument: Cello Scope Optical 

Screening Instrument. Manufacturer: 

Bio Sense Solutions Apes, Denmark. 

Intended Use: See notice at 83 FR 

31120, July 3, 2018. Comments: None 

received. Decision: Approved. We know 

of no instruments of equivalent 

scientific value to the foreign 

instruments described below, for such 

purposes as this is intended to be used, 

that was being manufactured in the 

United States at the time of order. 

Reasons: The instrument will be used 

for research use only to study several 

Gram-negative and Gram-positive 

bacterial pathogens. Use of this optical 

screening instrument, will be 

developing and evaluating an automated 

antimicrobial susceptibility test for 

bacterial pathogens based on time-lapse 

imaging of cells incubating in broth 

microdilution drug panels. Experiments 

to be conducted include growth 

assessment of these bacterial pathogens 

in the presence and absence of clinically 

relevant antibiotics. The antibiotics 

selected for our studies are those 

recommended by the Clinical and 

Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) for 

primary testing. The objectives of the 

investigations are to more rapidly 

determine antimicrobial susceptibility 

of bacterial pathogens. Currently, the 

gold-standard method for antimicrobial 

susceptibility testing requires 16–20 or 

24–48 hours, depending on the species. 

The techniques required to perform 

these experiments include inoculation 

of a testing drug panel with a bacterial 

suspension and assessing susceptibly by 

optical screening. The research 

conducted using this instrument may 

substantially reduce the time required to 

make an informed therapeutic decision. 

Docket Number: 18–003. Applicant: 

University of Virginia, Charlottesville, 

VA 22903. Instrument: Superconducting 

Magnet System. Manufacturer: 

Cryogenic Ltd., United Kingdom. 

Intended Use: See notice at 83 FR31120, 

July 3, 2018. Comments: None received. 

Decision: Approved. We know of no 

instruments of equivalent scientific 

value to the foreign instruments 

described below, for such purposes as 

this is intended to be used, that was 

being manufactured in the United States 

at the time of order. Reasons: The 

instrument will be used to study the 

beta decay of neutrons. Neutrons are 

elementary constituents of any matter in 

our universe. The experiments require 

measuring the kinetic energies of 

electrons and protons, two of the 

particles that are produced in neutron 

decay. The Nab spectrometer is to 

extract the neutrino-electron correlation 

coefficient ‘‘a’’ and the Fires term ‘‘b’’ 

which describes the dynamic properties 

of the decay particles; the results test 

our understanding of the Standard 

Model of Elementary Particle Physics. 

The Nab spectrometer, electrons and 

protons are guided by the magnetic 

field, produced by the magnet system 

that we are importing. Electrons and 

protons eventually reach detectors. The 

detectors allow us to determine the 

kinetic energies of both particles, 

respectively.

Lincoln, NE 68588–0645. Instrument: 

Closed Cycle Cryogen Free Cryostat. 

Manufacturer: Autocue Systems, 

Germany. Intended Use: See notice at 83

None received. Decision: Approved. We 

know of no instruments of equivalent 

scientific value to the foreign 

instruments described below, for such 

purposes as this is intended to be used, 

that was being manufactured in the 

United States at the time of order. 

Reasons: The instrument will be used to 

study the optoelectronic properties of 

novel atomically thin semiconductor 

materials such as metal chalcogenides, 

which are promising for application in 

energy conversion (for example solar 

cells) and micro-/nanoelectronics. 

Leading-edge fundamental research on 

the optoelectronic properties of novel 

nanomaterials, with the goal of 

developing advanced materials to 

support the needs for new energy 

conversion processes and nextgeneration electronics and computing.
