This acquisition is for a comprehensive annual service and maintenance agreement covering two (2) Operetta CLS high-content imaging systems, six (6) Opera Phenix confocal microscopy systems, and associated integrated equipment, including the Flex 750 plate handler/loader, and robot fixed cell integration system. The objective is to ensure uninterrupted operation, manufacturer-compliant servicing, and rapid repair of these mission-critical imaging and automation platforms.
The NCATS Division of Pre-Clinical Innovation (DPI) relies on high-throughput, high-content imaging systems to support translational science initiatives across multiple branches and research programs. The Operetta CLS and Opera Phenix platforms are central to automated, microplate-based imaging and confocal analysis used in:
Phenotypic and high-content screening
Stem cell characterization and differentiation studies
Drug response profiling in complex cellular systems
Quantitative fluorescence and colorimetric analysis
These systems operate in tightly integrated workflows with robotic handling systems (Flex 750 and fixed cell robotic arm), supporting continuous, high-throughput experimental pipelines.
Due to the complexity, precision, and continuous utilization of these instruments, any downtime directly disrupts ongoing experiments, many of which involve biological samples cultivated over weeks...
