    Netherlands: Tenders/Stichting Nederlandse Wetenschappelijk Onderzoek Instituten (NWO-I)/Confocal fluorescence module for optical tweezers

    Awarded

    The competition has ended and a winner has been selected.

    Brief

    In the past years, techniques have been developed to detect individual molecules using fluorescence – and in particular to add this capability to the simultaneous mechanical manipulation of protein conformation and dynamics, which can be achieved using an optical tweezers instrument. This combination allows for the detection of molecular interactions and dynamics, which is crucial to understanding a host of cellular processes. The aim of the investment is to meet the demands for these state-of-the-art single-molecule fluorescence studies, at the highest light sensitivity, and experimental flexibility. For this purpose, we aim to purchase a confocal fluorescence module that must work in integrated manner with the C-trap optical tweezers instrument by Lumicks, and will be installed in the laboratory at AMOLF. 1 confocal fluorescence module

      Purchase of 5 Fluorescence Microscopes

      Danmarks Tekniske Universitet (DTU) needs to purchase 5 fluorescence microscopes with a maximum total value of 1,400,000 DKK. The equipment should consist of four inverted microscopes with X/Y test tables, capable of visualizing samples using reflected light in fluorescence and bright field. The fluorescence detection system must be able to observe and separate DAPI, FITC, and TRITC fluorophores. The microscopes must be equipped with lenses for optical measurements from 4x to 100x magnification, using cover glass. Three microscopes need to image at 4x and 20x, one at 10x and phase contrast at 20x, and one at 10x and 60x or higher. All microscopes should include a 1.5x optivar lens and allow for mounting a C-mount camera with a 25mm FOV. One microscope must have a motorized X-Y table compatible with Micromanager software.
