About

The University of Sheffield awarded a contract to Leica Microsystems UK Ltd for the supply, installation, and commissioning of a Live Cell Imaging System for undergraduate teaching activities in the University's new flagship Diamond Building, due to open in September 2015.

The contract includes warranty and service contracts for 3 or more years.

The system is required to monitor living cells in culture and quantitatively measure multiple parameters of their physical and biochemical activity over time, providing environmental conditions to maintain human and animal cells or cell lines in monolayer culture viable through temperature, humidity, and atmospheric control.

It must support both light microscopy and fluorescence microscopy of multiple regions of interest recorded over time in multiple cultures, with data recorded by computer and made available in readily accessible formats.
