High-Speed 3D Confocal Microscope for Biomaterials Research

The objective of this Invitation to Bid (ITB) is to enable Florida State University (FSU) to enter into a purchase order (PO) with a Bidder(s) to provide a confocal fluorescent microscope intended for use in biomaterials design and 3D in vitro cell culture analysis. The instrument will support optimization of solute transport in hydrogels and robust characterizations of spatiotemporal dynamics in complex 3D cell culture models with applications in bone marrow diseases and cancer research. • The microscope should be used for biomaterials design and 3D in vitro cell culture analysis. • The instrument will support optimization of solute transport in hydrogels. • The microscope will be used for robust characterizations of spatiotemporal dynamics in complex 3D cell culture models. • The applications of the microscope include bone marrow diseases and cancer research.
