Object of the contract
Request for Information. We are searching for information about automated live-cell imaging systems that can operate and capture images within a standard tissue culture incubator controlled. The live-cell imaging system must have moveable optics and the cell cultures must remain stationary during this process. The system has to accommodate simultaneously several assay plates, and allow imaging on all plates without manually changing and switching plates. Assay plates must include 384-well microplates, 96-well microplates, 48-well plates, 24-well plates, 12-well plates, and 6-well plates that conform to the ANSI/SLAS standard for assay plates. The system must also accommodate the following plastic tissue culture vessels: 75 cmA2 flasks, 25 cmA2 flasks, 35mm dishes, 60 mm dishes, 150mm dishes, chambered slides and microslides. The system must possess fully automated, hands-free operation for periods exceeding 25 days and must be designed to autofocus and auto expose without intervention during this time period. The automated imaging system must be able return to the same imaging location in a repeated fashion without error over this same time period. The software must be capable of generating label free, time based growth curves for cells. The software must also be able to mask, quantify and generate time based curves based on fluorescence metrics including fluorescent count, fluorescent average area, fluorescent total area, fluorescent confluence and fluorescent mean intensity, fluorescent average integrated intensity, fluorescent total integrated intensity, and fluorescent eccentricity. The software should be capable of autofocusing on, capturing images from and measuring cell density on the top and bottom side of directed cell migration or chemotaxis plates. Control of the system must be distributed over a network and the client software must be able to elicit control of the automated imaging system from any networked computed. Unlimited client software licensees must be available. The system must have high definition phase contrast optics and at least two fluorescent wavelengths detecting red and green fluorophores e.g. GFP, RFP, Alexa 488, alexa 546, fluorescein or fluorescein derivatives. The system should offer either automatic or user-changeable objectives: 4x plan apo, 10x plan fluor, and 20x plan fluor, or similar.
