LEE295C - RFT for the Supply and Installation of a High Content Imaging System for the Bernal Institute, University of Limerick

Tenders are sought for the supply and installation of a Confocal High Content Imaging system to support a wide range of biological samples ranging from single cell subcellular assays to complex 3D multicellular organoids. The confocal equipment must be able to automatically capture scientific-grade microscopy images of high quality from a wide range of sample formats in multiple dimensions and optical configurations, whilst offering a flexible and open environment to its users. Environmental control for live cell imaging under physiologically relevant conditions and on-board liquid handling for fast kinetic assays and media exchange are essential. The system must be fully-integrated for automated acquisition and analysis of images, including integrated 3D image analysis to enable the identification of 3D object counts, volume measurements and 3D centroids. The complete solution must be future upgradeable to accommodate the varied needs of the researchers in the institute as their applications change in the future. This system is to be purchased as part of the University of Limerick’s internal call for the Science Foundation Ireland Opportunity fund 2017.
