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.

Purchase of full spectrum flow cytometer system

Danmarks Tekniske Universitet (DTU) har brug for levering, installation, træning og garantisupport af et 4-laser full spectrum flowcytometersystem til høj-parameter single-celle immunfænotyping og relaterede flowcytometriapplikationer. Den maksimale totale kontraktværdi er 1.000.000 DKK. Systemet skal leveres i Danmark.

The procurement of the Supply, Installation and Commissioning of a Focused Ion Beam Scanning Electron Microscope (FIB-SEM) with Gallium Ion Source

Danmarks Tekniske Universitet (DTU) needs the supply, delivery, installation, commissioning, and acceptance of one focused ion beam scanning electron microscope (FIB-SEM) dual-beam platform. This instrument will serve a multi-user research environment in the Copenhagen area for high-resolution surface imaging, site-specific cross-sectioning, TEM lamella preparation (including automated workflows), 3D FIB-SEM tomography, gas-assisted deposition and etching, nanoscale manipulation, and elemental microanalysis by energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) and ToF-SIMS. The award criteria are Price (30%) and Quality of the solution (70%). Suppliers must provide at least 3 references for comparable agreements, each with a value of at least DKK 10,000,000, concerning the supply, delivery, installation, commissioning, and acceptance of a FIB-SEM dual-beam platform or a comparable service, with the agreement not being more than 5 years old.

Desktop Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM)

Danmarks Tekniske Universitet (DTU) har brug for levering af et desktop scanning elektronmikroskop (SEM) til en maksimal totalværdi på 130.000 EUR. SEM'et skal bruges til topografisk billeddannelse og kemisk analyse af metallografiske prøver, primært ikke-ledende mekanisk polerede epoxyforme med tværsnitskomponenter og samlinger af elektronik. Det forventes, at SEM'et er kompakt, robust, stabilt, klar til at køre 24/7 uden avanceret vedligeholdelse og let at betjene efter kort træning. Carl Zeiss A/S har tidligere haft lignende kontrakter.

Purchase of Flow Cytometer

Danmarks Tekniske Universitet - DTU needs to purchase a Benchtop Flow Cytometer with a maximum total value of 185,000 EUR. The instrument should be a benchtop research-use flow cytometry cell analyzer suitable for multicolor immunophenotyping, basophil activation testing, rare-event analysis, plate-based acquisition, and future development of complex immune-cell assays. It must support robust analysis of human and animal research samples, including low-frequency immune-cell populations and activation-marker readouts.
