We require an instrument that can: * sequence regions of the genome that cannot be adequately covered using short-read sequencing technologies; * generate long reads of up to 25,999 bases with an error rate of less than 1% for individual molecules and an average error rate of less than 0.1% across the entire dataset; * provide direct information on DNA methylation without the need for bisulfite conversion or other enzymatic manipulations. These requirements are essential for whole human genome sequencing with a data quality that enables reliable detection og single-base variants, structural variants, and difficult-to-sequence genomic regions, such as those containing pseudogenes or repetitive sequences, while simultaneously providing haplotype phasing information and DNA methylation status. Raw data should be compatible with data from out existing Long-Read sequencer (PacBio Revio® system) enabling the use of our existing bioinformatic pipelines, and the instrument should be able to serve as a seamless back-up. The PacBio Revio® System is currently the only instrument that meets these requirements.

Chalmers Tekniska Högskola AktiebolagGÖTEBORGDeadline: Aug 10This procurement covers one (1) Optical Frequency Comb System. An optical frequency comb is a laser-based instrument that produces a spectrum of many equally spaced, phase-coherent optical frequencies, acting as a precise frequency ruler for measuring and linking laser frequencies across a wide range of wavelengths. The System will be used to stabilise several continuous-wave lasers to a single, highly stable optical reference, transferring its stability and accuracy to all of them simultaneously.Market consultation advanced maskless photopatterning system
Rijksuniversiteit GroningenGroningenDeadline: Jul 26Introduction Within the University of Groningen (UG), at the Groningen Research Institute of Pharmacy, the Pharmaceutical Analysis Group studies cell behaviour in physiologically relevant microenvironments, with a particular focus on microfluidic devices and hydrogel-based platforms. A central aspect of this research is the ability to engineer precisely defined biochemical and physical microenvironments at the sub-micron scale, in which cells can then be imaged and observed over time. To address the research questions arising in this context, an advanced maskless photopatterning system is required, capable of three functions within a single device: micropatterning of biomolecules for defining regions where cell can adhere, three-dimensional structuration of UV-sensitive hydrogels for structuring the mechanical environments of the cells, and microfabrication of microfluidic channels for enabling control of the biochemical environment of the cells. These three functions must be reconfigurable on demand and in real time, and the system must mount on an inverted fluorescence microscope, so that patterning can be performed at precisely imaged locations and in closed loop with observed cell behaviour. Together, these requirements place stringent demands on the patterning resolution, design flexibility, multi-function capability, and microscope integration of the instrument. See the market consultation document for futher information.Photocathode Laser System
Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf e.V.DresdenHelmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf (HZDR) has been working on the development of a superconducting electron source (SRF gun) for about 20 years. An integral part of this electron source is a photocathode laser which, in combination with a photocathode, uses the external photoelectric effect to generate electron pulses. These pulses are then accelerated by the electric field of the superconducting RF resonator. The required laser wavelength for this purpose is about 260 nm, while the aimed pulse energy at this wavelength is 5 μJ. Detailed requirements in the table below (2. Performance quote) are specified separately for the fundamental wavelength in infrared (IR) and the 4th harmonic in ultraviolet (UV). Pulse repetition rate shall be flexible and reach 2 MHz. The average power in UV has to reach at least 1 W. Laser pulse duration is a key optimization parameter that needs to be variable in the range of 0.3-10 ps FWHM. Moreover, the temporal (longitudinal) profile of the laser pulse overall is important for properties of the generated electron pulse and thus also needs to be adjustable. For this, a spatial light modulator for modifying the spectrum needs to be integrated in the offered system. It is desirable that the manufacturer finds settings of the spectral shaper that result in a flat-top temporal shape of the UV pulse. Given that the temporal shape of a chirped pulse is critical in the planned application, spectral smoothness, stability and absence of long wings or shoulders are of high importance. Spectrum distortions caused by nonlinear effects shall be insignificant even at the maximum required pulse energy. Ability to synchronize the oscillators' repetition rate to a radio-frequency (RF) reference signal is necessary. Achievable integrated time jitter in the range between 10 Hz and 1 MHz of the laser with respect to the reference shall not exceed 100 fs. However, synchronization electronics are not part of the current tender and will be obtained from another source. The oscillator needs to be prepared for repetition rate locking, i.e. contain a short-range and a long-range actuators for fine adjustment of the cavity length. Another aspect of synchronization is the ability to control the repetition rate and the emission time of the laser by an external trigger signal. This ability needs to be available. Reliability and permanent availability (24/7) are of particular importance. The system will be located in an optical laboratory with ±1°C temperature stability. Beside the fulfilment of the criteria described in annex 01A, the scope of deliveries and services includes, that means are to be offered in the quotation: • Factory Acceptance Test (FAT), with proof of fulfilment of the performance requirements • Delivery according to DDP (Incoterms 2010) to the place of usage • Installation und commissioning including On-Site Acceptance Test (OSAT), with proof of fulfilment of the performance requirements • 12 months warranty from OSAT • CE marking • complete manual in English • suitable "water-to-water chiller"ImageXpress HCS.AI Advanced System
Aalborg UniversitetAalborg ØstThe system will provide researchers from various research groups with a microscopy solution suitable for a wide range of current and future experimental applications. These include high-content screening of pharmacological and biological perturbations across a range of sample carriers (including microscope slides, multiwell plate formats, and specialized geometries such as U-shaped plates), quantitative analysis of physiologically relevant 3D models (including tissue samples, spheroids, and organoids), and imaging of complex co-culture systems requiring multi-compartment or insert-based configurations. Uniqueness statement: The described procurement concerns a highly specialized high-content confocal imaging system required to support advanced, large-scale biological experiments within a shared research infrastructure. The requirements define a tightly integrated combination of functionalities, including: • High-throughput plate-based acquisition of multiwell experiments (96-384 well formats) within defined time constraints, with full plate acquisition achievable in the order of 1-5 minutes for single-position imaging and ≤30-60 minutes under realistic screening conditions, including multiple imaging positions per well (≥9), multi-channel fluorescence acquisition (≥3 channels), and Z-stack acquisition (≥20 planes). Full 96-well plate confocal imaging (≥3 channels, ≥20x objective) must be achievable within ≤10 minutes at one position per well. • Confocal optical sectioning for imaging of thick 3D biological samples, with effective penetration and signal quality for structures in the range of 50-200 um (up to ~300 um depending on sample type). For this, the imaging system must be able to operate in both widefield and spinning disk confocal modes. Availability of a minimum of two (2) confocal spinning disc geometries under software control, with options optimized for different applications, such as high-resolution, high-speed, and deep-penetration imaging, with the option for future disc upgrades. • Low phototoxicity and low photobleaching imaging conditions, enabling repeated imaging of the same samples for time-lapse experiments over hours to days, including sensitive 3D cultures and live-cell assays. • High-power laser excitation (up to 800 mW) combined with a motorized XY-stage and Z control with high-precision positioning (<25 nm resolution in all axes) and the stability required for reliable time-lapse imaging of the same sites over several hours or days is needed. • A software-controlled, automated objective turret with at least six (6) positions, equipped with a range of air and water immersion objectives from 2x to 60x magnification that includes options for both high numerical aperture (NA) and extra-long working distance. The system must be equipped with a fully automated water immersion objective system with 20x and 40x water immersion objectives, and support optional magnification changes via an additional, software-selectable tube lens (1.5x). • Independent emission filter wheel (≥8 positions) and dichroic filter wheel (≥4 positions), equipped with filter sets for imaging DAPI, CFP, FITC, YFP, TRITC, TxRed, Cy5, and Cy7, or their equivalents. • Fully automated, high-content acquisition workflows, enabling reproducible imaging of large datasets (≥100-1000 imaging sites per experiment) with minimal user intervention. • A high-sensitivity sCMOS camera with high peak quantum efficiency (≥95%). The system is required to support high-speed image streaming for dynamic live-cell assays such as calcium imaging. The requirement is acquisition at ≥80 fps at full resolution and ≥100 fps at reduced resolution (using binning). • Integrated environmental control for physiologically relevant experiments with integrated gasmixer in the system for precise control of CO2 and O2 levels to create both normal and hypoxic conditions. • Integrated, high-throughput image analysis capabilities, including automated segmentation, feature extraction, and compatibility with AI machine learning-based analysis pipelines, enabling efficient processing and quantification of large-scale datasets. Possibility of importing images from 3rd party instruments for analysis is required. These requirements are not independent, but must be fulfilled simultaneously within a single, unified system architecture to ensure technical suitability, data quality, and operational feasibility. While individual elements of the required functionality may be available in other systems, available alternatives do not provide the full combination of required capabilities within a single, fully integrated high-content screening platform. In practice, alternative solutions rely on partial, modular, or loosely integrated configurations, where acquisition, automation, and analysis are handled by separate components or software environments. This prevents consistent, reproducible execution of large-scale experiments and introduces technical limitations in throughput, data consistency, and workflow integration. The ImageXpress HCS.AI Advanced platform is identified as the only system available that meets all specified requirements as an integrated solution. No alternative suppliers can deliver a technically equivalent system without introducing significant limitations that render the solution unsuitable for the intended research applications. Consequently, the procurement is considered to fall under a situation where competition is absent for technical reasons, as only one supplier can deliver a system that fulfils the defined requirements.High resolution nano-XCT system
