Description
The National Cancer Institute (NCI) is seeking sources and information for market research purposes to determine the availability of a spinning disk confocal microscope to replace their current Yokogawa CV7000 microscope. The required microscope should be a Yokogawa CV8000 high-throughput spinning disk confocal microscope or similar, with specific features such as a fully automated high-throughput confocal microscope, equipped with a CSU-W1 confocal scanner unit, 4 solid state laser lines, and an LED lamp for brightfield and digital phase contrast excitation.
* The microscope should have a fully XYZ automated stage and an integrated imaging chamber with temperature, CO2, and humidity control for up to 72 hours.
* The system should be equipped with 2 Hamamatsu Orca Flash 4.0 sCMOS cameras and 6 lenses with specific NA values.
* Respondents are required to provide detailed information about their suggested microscope, including its characteristics, commercial availability, and expected "life".
* The Government is not seeking quotes at this time and will not reimburse responders for any costs incurred in responding to this notice.
