    Laboratorie- og analyseutstyr

    Rijksuniversiteit Groningen needs an advanced inverted fluorescence microscope with a maximum total value of 165,000 EUR. The microscope must be capable of high-precision imaging, laser patterning of microenvironments, long-term live imaging of dim fluorescent samples for 24 hours or more, and real-time closed-loop experiment control. It must also support stable and validated integration with the Alveole Primo2 system for sub-micron laser photopatterning.

    About the bid

      Introduction Within the University of Groningen (UG), at the Groningen Research Institute of Pharmacy, the Pharmaceutical Analysis Group studies cell behaviour and nanoparticle dynamics in physiologically relevant microenvironments, with a particular focus on microfluidic devices and hydrogel-based platforms. A central aspect of this research is the ability to engineer precisely defined biochemical and physical microenvironments at the sub-micron scale, and to observe how cells and particles respond to these environments over time. To address the research questions arising in this context, an advanced inverted fluorescence microscope is required, capable of supporting both high-precision imaging and laser patterning of microenvironments, long-term live imaging of dim fluorescent samples across extended timescales of 24 hours or more, and real-time closed-loop experiment control, where imaging data must be processed and acted upon during acquisition rather than after the fact. To enable sub-micron laser photopatterning, the microscope must support stable and validated integration with the Alveole Primo2 system, a laser-based photopatterning module which will be available in the group. Together, these requirements place stringent demands on the optical performance, mechanical stability, and computational capabilities of the microscope. Please see the market consultation document for further information.

      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.
