This is a pre-solicitation notice to gather information from the market, and no contract award will result from this specific notice.
Notice text
The Cellular Neurophysiology Section (CNS) requires microscopy to analyze mouse brain sections. The automated slide scanner allows CNS lab members to image up to 6 slides at a time with minimal human hours; maybe 15-20 minutes of initial setup, then the entire slide will be imaged overnight. Using a traditional microscope, it would take one of the CNS lab members ~1 full day to image all of the brain sections on 1 slide. With an automated slide scanner, 6 slides can be imaged overnight, and the decrease in time at the microscope allows lab members to be more efficient with their projects. Thus, the automated slide scanner will significantly increase the CNS’s productivity.
