Notice Title

2406/JS - 3D Bioprinter

Notice Description

The University of Sheffield is out to tender on behalf of the Department of Automatic Control and Systems Engineering for a 3D Bioprinter. Scope of Requirement: Our work concentrates on the fabrication of interconnected sensors and actuators that enable multi-modal interfaces with biological systems. These can be applied for studying of individual cells or tissues such as the heart, brain or nerves. From a technological point of view this requires microfabrication tools capable of handling technological and biological materials at the micro- and meso- scale. These can be silicones, hydrogels, composites, suspensions of biological cells or functional microparticles. One example is the fabrication of arrays of electrodes, optical waveguides and microfluidic channels in designs adapted for implantation in the soft tissues of the nervous system. These soft bioelectronic implants are then used to stimulate or record biological activity. To enable these objectives we require a versatile additive manufacture platform capable of handing a palette of materials using various printing technologies The full technical specification can be found in the tender documentation which will be sent to you once you have expressed your interest. Tender Process and Documentation: This is a Non-E.U. open exercise. The ITT can be downloaded by registering and expressing your interest on the University's e-tendering system https://in-tendhost.co.uk/Sheffield. If you have any questions or comments in relation to this tender they must be submitted via the In-tend System, this can be accessed at https://in-tendhost.co.uk/Sheffield Completed tenders must be returned through the same e-tendering system. Closing date for receipt of tenders: Friday 13th December 2019 at 12 noon (UK time).
