The National Institutes of Health (NIH), Office of the Director (OD) is conducting a market survey
to determine the availability and technical capability of qualified small businesses, including 8(a)
small businesses, small, disadvantaged businesses, woman-owned small businesses, servicedisabled
veteran-owned small businesses or HUBZone small businesses capable of providing a
new Brand name or equal to Leica Microsystems Stellaris Microscope System with Confocal, 3DSTED,
FLIM, and Spectral Multiplexing imaging capabilities.
An NIH lab requires acquisition of a Leica Stellaris microscope system to provide investigators
with substantially improved sensitivity, resolution, and advanced imaging modalities needed for
modern cellular and subcellular research. The current Leica SP8 confocal microscope has served as
an imaging workhorse for more than a decade, supporting approximately 25 laboratories in the past
year and an estimated 50 laboratories over its lifetime. The SP8 will be traded in as a line-item
discount toward the new system. The Stellaris platform is required to enable advanced confocal
imaging, three-dimensional STED super-resolution, fluorescence lifetime imaging (FLIM), and
high-plex spectral multiplexing workflows (up to 15 colors) to support spatial-omics-type studies
and other complex multi-parameter imaging experiments.
Product Specifications/Features/Salient Characteristics Required Minimum Specifications:
· Confocal excitation: white light laser with tunable excitation range 440-790 nm with
AOBS system.
· Prism-based fluorescence detection: prism-based spectral detection with variable emission
windows to 850 nm.
· Detectors: five (5) Hybrid (HyD) detectors optimized for spectral detection across
approximately 400-850 nm.
· 3D STED super-resolution: pulsed depletion at 77...
