## Summary

The Cardiff University has recently awarded a contract for a Fluorescent Plate Reader. The procurement involved the Diabetes Research Group seeking a real-time fluorescent plate reader for studying mouse and human immune cells. The contract was awarded to Axion Biosystems Inc for the amount of £37,450. The procurement falls under the main procurement category of goods.

This tender for a real-time fluorescent plate reader by Cardiff University offers business growth opportunities for suppliers of measuring instruments. Businesses specialized in providing scientific equipment and laboratory instruments would be well-suited to compete in this tender. With the contract being in the active status and signed on 13th February 2024, interested businesses should consider the specialized requirements for providing the real-time fluorescent plate reader within a 37°C incubator as specified in the tender description.

## Notice

The Diabetes Research Group has recently been awarded a translational grant to study mouse and human immune cells in culture in real-time using fluorescent reporters in response to different therapeutic interventions. At present there is no real-time fluorescent plate reader within the group and thus samples are studied at specific times post-stimulation and thus key cellular changes may be missed. Thus, we are seeking a real-time fluorescent plate reader that can be placed within a 37C incubator.
