Leica Microsystems Stellaris Microscope System with Confocal 3D Sted
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) is seeking to acquire a state-of-the-art laser-scanning microscope system with Confocal, 3D-STED, FLIM, and Spectral Multiplexing imaging capabilities to replace an existing 12-year-old system. The required system must include a white light laser, prism-based spectral detection, and support for imaging 15 or more fluorescent colors per sample. Performance of services, including delivery, installation, and training, will be at the NIH campus in Bethesda, MD. The government intends to award a Firm-Fixed-Price Purchase Order based on best value, evaluating technical acceptability, past performance, and price. Quotations are due by July 31, 2026, at 11:00 AM Eastern Time.
