Description
The FDA is seeking a Digital Slide Scanner System to replace an existing system that is no longer supported by the manufacturer. The new system will be used in the Pathology Lab to create digital copies of tissues on glass slides and to provide image analysis for data collection. The system must meet specific technical requirements, including the ability to scan at different magnifications, capture images of slides stained with various colors, and analyze images using software. The contract will include a one-year warranty and optional post-warranty service agreements. The FDA is looking for a turn-key solution that includes delivery, installation, and training.
• The system must be able to scan at 1.25X, 5.00X, 10.00X, 20.00X, and 40.00X magnifications.
• The system must be able to capture images of slides stained with various colors, including hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) stains and fluorescent stains.
• The system must include image analysis software that can quantify stained cell numbers and stained areas on any animal tissue.
• The system must be able to connect to a network server for data storage and software usage.
• The system must utilize multi-factor authentication (MFA) login and encrypt data at rest and in transit.
