Notice Information
Notice Title
Instrument to measure binding kinetics and thermodynamics parameters in individual cells in a high-throughput format.
Notice Description
The Contracting Authority received funding to support a Glasgow-wide initiative that will enable users to measure the binding properties of molecules directly on live cells. To support this research, the Contracting Authority requires an instrument to measure binding kinetics and thermodynamics parameters in individual cells in a high-throughput format.
Lot Information
Lot 1
The Contracting Authority has received funding to support a Glasgow-wide initiative that will enable users to measure the binding properties of molecules directly on live cells. The equipment will be suitable for a wide range of analyses for eukaryotic cell types and will be underpinned by support from dedicated research technical professionals within the Strathclyde Centre for Molecular Bioscience (University of Strathclyde) and the Integrated Protein Analysis Facility (University of Glasgow). The equipment will be part of the facility enabling the UK userbase integrated access to a breadth of bioanalytical and biophysical facilities to examine cellular binding interactions.
Procurement Information
The Contracting Authority has received funding for an automated biosensor for single-cell Interaction Cytometry. The instrument allows kinetic characterisation of molecules binding to membrane targets in individual cells. Equipment to be procured must be capable of enabling real-time kinetic binding analysis at the single-cell level, with unmatched sensitivity, microfluidic control, and fluorescence detection in a single high-throughput format. The dynamic chip-based biosensor system identified was used in the application for funding and contains patented technology (WO/2021/239855) relating to the time-resolved dynamics measurement of biosensor probes. As such, this contract shall be awarded under Regulation 33 (1) (b) (ii) as the University intends to award this public contract following the negotiated procedure without prior publication of a contract notice as the competition is absent for technical reasons.
