The National Institutes of Health (NIH), National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD), Intends to contract on a sole source basis with Carl Zeiss Microscopy - One North Broadway, White Plains, NY 10601 to procure a LSM 990 w/Airyscan-2 Detector Microscope consisting of all the items per the attachment provided in this notice.
The Government intends to award a Firm-Fixed-Price Purchase Order resulting from this solicitation.
2. DESCRIPTION OF REQUIREMENT
2.1 Background
The NIDCD uses live cell imaging to view the real-time cellular organelle development and functions. Only the LSM990 proprietary Airyscan detector, which is a 32 channel GaAsP Array, sampling at 0.2AU per detector for a total of 1.25AU of the PSF at every pixel for a resolution of 90nm in XY and 200nm in Z will fulfill our needs. The resolution and sensitivity of the detector is critical for the work with live organ of Corti explants from mouse cochlea to do imaging over multiple days, which requiring the gentlest imaging with the highest level of resolution. Another critical aspect of the experiments is the file sizes and data handling and processing needs. The LSM990 has addressed these concerns, 8x smaller image size for the raw data and 5x faster processing of the final Airyscan data of high-resolution live imaging.
The LSM990 microscope system is needed soon since it allows for high-resolution imaging at much faster speed of acquisition than available on LSM880 to collect live imaging data of the mouse organ of Corti explant for a current project in the laboratory. Liv...
