Alicat Systems Kits

Mississippi State University’s Additive Manufacturing Laboratory is seeking to purchase a complete Alicat gas‑mixing system for its arc‑DED weld cell. The acquisition includes a benchtop kit, multiple mass‑flow controllers, a pressure gauge, a digital I/O interface, and associated cabling, all required to enable precise, remotely‑controlled gas composition, real‑time logging, and integration with in‑situ research platforms. The university justifies a sole‑source procurement, claiming that only Alicat Scientific manufactures the exact equipment needed with the required software and remote‑control capabilities.
