LEE289C - Trinity-Supply and delivery of 96 well and 8 well Seahorse Analysers

Close RFT details

Trinity Biomedical Sciences Institute.

There has burst of interest in the new field of immunometabolism, an interdisciplinary area embracing both Immunology and basic biochemistry. This is an area strength for the School of Biochemistry and Immunology, with multiple internationally recognised research groups making important contributions to the field; Luke O’Neil, Lydia Lynch, David Finlay. Metabolic analysis is central to this area of research. 

Specification Overview

Lot 1

The 96 well model of the seahorse machine supports the comparison of the larger numbers of conditions typically required for metabolic experiments, as compared to other formats such as the 24 well machine currently in TBSI. Additionally, this 96 well machine measures the equivalent metabolic parameters from smaller numbers of cells, which is crucial when working with primary cells or human samples.

Lot 2

The 8 well model of the seahorse machine supports the metabolic analysis of rare in vivo populations or patient samples, when small numbers of cells are available. The 8 well machine measures the equivalent metabolic parameters from smaller numbers of cells, compared to the 24 well machine, which is crucial when working with primary cells or human samples.
