Lot Information
Lot 1
The supply of an ONI Nanoimager S Microscope, Light ENgine, COmputer, NIMOS Software and 1 year system licence
Procurement Information
The technique of fluorescence localisation with photobleaching (FLImP) was invented at the Central Laser Facility, and allows mapping of the structure of complexes of biological molecules in cells, at very high resolution. The CLF has obtained funding through the "Bridging for Innovators" programme (B4I) to deliver advanced laser microscopy and spectroscopy techniques to industry. One of the techniques we wish to offer is FLImP, which has a number of potential applications in the pharmaceutical industry and has already attracted interest from several companies. In order to deliver FLImP for the industrial community we require an easy to use, stable, portable microscope with the characteristics described above. The microscope will be used both at the Octopus facility in the Research Complex at Harwell, or at the place of business of the industrial user when necessary, for samples that are difficult to transport for reasons of either viability or biological safety. For this reason the requirement for portability and the ability to operate in any laboratory without special optical tables or laser interlocks is essential. Conventional microscopes that are commercially available for TIRF/single molecule imaging are large instruments that have to be placed on an optical bench to achieve the necessary stability. However, a new microscope technology has been developed that allows the production of a compact TIRF/single molecule microscope that is inherently stable without the use of an optical bench. This technology was patented by Oxford University's ISIS Innovations and the inventor, Prof Achillefs Kapanidis (e.g. patents WO2015059682, US 20160266362 A1), and is licensed to one company, Oxford Nanoimaging (a spin-out from Oxford University). This company produce the "Nanoimager", the only microscope that is suitable for our requirements.
