system for imaging living cells
This is a request for quotes. The Department of Veterans Affairs, James J. Peters VA Medical Center is currently seeking a system for imaging living cells incubated in
temperature and humidity controlled environments for periods of 1 to 7
days, and for systems for analysis of the movement and changes in shape of cells while so cultured. For live cell incubation in confocal microscopes.
The system must meet the following requirements:
Allow incubation of cell culture
flasks and dishes for extended
periods in precisely controlled
environments (e.g., 37 degrees
centigrade with 5% carbon
dioxide).
Permit incubation of a wide
variety of flasks and culture dishes
including 35, 60 and 100 mm
dishes, slides, and 12, 24 or 96 well
plates.
Have a small foot print to
minimize bench space needed.
Be capable of imaging cells using
bright field, phase contrast and
Fluorescence microscopy.
Visualize cells at 4, 10, 20 and
40x magnification with a long
working distance.
Be able to do fluorescence imaging
using four different filters
(DAPI/Hoechst, GFP, RFP,
Texas-Red).
Be easy to operate.
Generate stitched images and
Z-stacks.
