Description
The Leiden Academic Centre for Drug Research (LACDR) (part of the Faculty of Science of Leiden University) is seeking tenders for the procurement of one advanced microscope capable of performing image-guided single-cell sampling and isolation using confocal imaging and lifetime fluorescence. The microscope will be used for the Exposome Scan Dutch infrastructure and located at the Leiden Cell Observatory (LCO). With this microscope we aim to develop a microscopy-based infrastructure that enables both i) high-throughput phenotypic screening in 3D live advanced cell systems and ii) image-guided single-cell and intracellular component sampling. This infrastructure will serve scientists interested in screening relevant compound libraries in a wide variety of advanced fluorescent reporter cell systems (e.g., human stem cells cultured in 2D and differentiated in 3D microtissues such as liver or kidney organoids) and obtaining a mechanistic understanding of specific imaged phenotypes using a multi-omics approach. The microscope hardware must provide the following functionality: 1) Hardware: Label-free (brightfield or transmission), and lifetime microscopy. Time-lapse microscopy (incubator …
