Summary of the contracting process

The University of Exeter has completed a procurement process for an "Automated Patch Clamp" system in the laboratory, optical and precision equipments category. This tender was conducted as a limited procurement method, negotiated without publication of a contract notice. The University's main procurement category was goods, and the tender was awarded to Nanion Technologies GmbH in Germany, with a contract value of £759,000. The University aims to use this system for specific research objectives involving whole cell recordings and intracellular gating mechanisms.

This tender for the Automated Patch Clamp system by the University of Exeter presents an opportunity for companies involved in providing laboratory, optical, and precision equipment. Businesses specializing in advanced technologies related to voltage and current clamp recordings, plate-based assay systems, and internal solution exchange capabilities would be well-suited to compete for this tender. The University's need for flexibility in running experiments and the ability to support research objectives make this opportunity ideal for businesses looking to collaborate in cutting-edge scientific research.

Notice Information

Notice Title

Automated Patch Clamp

Notice Description

The University is procuring an automated patch clamp system that will support the University's research objectives. This includes, the ability to make whole cell recordings (voltage clamp and current clamp) in a plate-based assay system (>300 simultaneous recording). Importantly, the system we required will have internal solution exchange capabilities (to study intracellular gating mechanisms), and be able carry out micro bio-sampling to check drug concentrations post-hoc. Finally, the solution enables the flexibility of running one large experiment, or up-to 10 different experiments from one single-use recording chip, unique to this system.
