The Supply, Delivery and Maintenance of a Live Cell Imaging Instrument
Notice Description
The supply, delivery and maintenance of a Live Cell Imager.
Lot Information
Lot 1
The supply, delivery and maintenance of a Live Cell Imager for the TRFID facility (cat 3 laboratories) for Medicines Discovery Catapult located in Alderley Park.
Procurement Information
Live cell imaging (and analysis) capability with the following specifications is required for the CAT 3 lab facility for the Medicines Discovery Catapult: * Both phase and fluorescence image capture in both 2D (Eg. proliferation, cell viability assays) and 3D (Eg. organoid) cell models enables the wide range of assays required to be run. * Capacity to image multiple plates (using different protocols) at the same time, this is due to the flexibility required as the MDC works on various / multiple projects and needs this level of flexibility to efficiently perform the required experiments. The ability to simultaneously run different assays measuring unrelated endpoints is required to increase lab capacity, reducing time by running concurrent experiments. * Automation of imaging and remote access to live experiments is required to reduce scientist time in the CAT 3 laboratory which is required from a Health and Safety perspective and also a resource perceptive from the vetting of staff required to access the CAT 3 facilities. This is a safety aspect required for a containment level 3 laboratory and makes continuous 24 hour timepoints more manageable. * In addition to microtiter plates the instrument must be compatible with a selection of tissue culture plastics and microscope slides. * Space is limited in the TRFID /CAT 3 facility and means that the instrument must have a compact footprint, either a benchtop instrument or the size of a standard cell culture incubator. The Incucyte SX5 live- cell analysis system is the only system on the market that fulfils all of these requirements thus competition is absent for technical reasons and this purchase is being processed under sole source. MDC will undertake a 10 day standstill period. If no challenges are received during the standstill period the MDC will continue to award the contract to Sartorius. The standstill period will end at midnight on Monday 13th December 2021.
