LGH1358C Supply โ€” Installation of a CODEX (or Equivalent) Multiplex Immunohistochemistry Imaging System for the University of Limerick

Education Procurement Service (EPS)

Tenders are sought for a CODEX (or equivalent) multiplex immunohistochemistry imaging system with microfluidic device, associated widefield fluorescent microscope, processing computer and required software. Single-cell technologies enable the detection of many cellular parameters, yet they do not provide the associated spatial dimension of the tissue from which these cells were extracted. Conversely, standard imaging methods, like immunofluorescence (IF) and immunohistochemistry (IHC), provide spatial context but are limited to measuring just a few cellular parameters simultaneously. The requirements of this tender are the amalgamation of both these specifications for an imaging system that can detect 40+ cellular biomarkers while maintaining the spatial architecture of the tissue sample.

Deadline
The time limit for receipt of tenders was 2021-03-26. The procurement was published on 2021-02-23.
