Notice Title
LW108 - Automated Intelligent Infection- Research High Containment Laboratory (AIR-HC)
Notice Description
LSTM and iiCON are now seeking suppliers for laboratory equipment and automation specialists to integrate these systems into the new facility. The scope of this tender includes the supply, installation, and commissioning of equipment as well as design work, packaging, shipping, user training, and ongoing maintenance and upgrades to ensure the lab operates at the cutting edge of research and development.
Lot Information
Automation & Integration
A laboratory automation specialist is invited to tender for the system design to automate the following three workflows, such that OEM equipment can be seamlessly driven from a central control software.
Organoid workflowThis workflow will provide automated preparation and monitoring spheroids / organoids
Infection workflowThis workflow will mimic the requirements of workstation 1 but with the additional requirements of handling pathogens including those in schedule 5, Class 3 GMO's and SAPO3 agents thus fundamental to this workstation will be careful design of the safety systems to ensure safe containment of the pathogens during normal operations and in the event of a spillage, the ability to sterilise
End Point Analysis WorkflowThis workflow will be designed for future expansion and final funding for this is under review and will be phased towards the later stages of the project once lots 1- 3 are well developed. This workflow is included for planning purposes and welcome input from potential suppliers of analytical solutions pertinent to 3D cell culture and the study of pathogens including but not limited to RNA/DNA extraction, qPCR, Mass Spectrometry and phenotypic characterisation
