DTU wants to buy an 18 cage system of metabolic cages. The cages must be able to monitor calorimetry, activity, movement, bodyweight, food intake, endurance, activity and body temperature. This system must be kept in one cabinet in which temperature, light and humidity can be controlled. Also, a system which can collect urine and feces from individual mice which are to be frozen down directly upon collection must be included.

This system must consist of 18 individual IVC cages in which monitoring of O2, CO2, H2 and CH4 occurs continuously. A minimum of 6 gas sensors must be included in this system, providing calorimetric data for each cage every 10 minutes. Remote control and monitoring must be included. The 18 cages must be housed in one climate chamber in which temperature (range: 4-35°C, accuracy +/- 1°C), humidity (55 % +/-10 % rH), and light (adjustable light dark cycles) can be controlled. Recording of food intake, drinking, activity, body weight, body temperature and exercise levels must be included. This must also include access control for paired and controlled feeding. 3 years of warranty must be included together with transportation, installation and instruction to a minimum of 2 persons.

Options: no

The procurement is related to a project and/or programme financed by European Union funds: no

Negotiated procedure without prior publication

Explanation:

The department in general and especially this research group is working with the gut microbiome including its health and function. Therefore it is of vital importance that we can study the health of the mouse gut during experiments e.g. studying the effect of various types of treatment. This company is the only company which offers metabolic cages with integration of gas sensors that allows monitoring of gut health by interpretation of H2 and CH4 gas levels. Additionally, conducting research in the field of microbiome health, feces and urine are collected at a very high frequency. This company is the only company that offers collection of urine and feces in a system that is able to freeze the samples directly, allowing for automated preservation of the samples.

The procurement is covered by the Government Procurement Agreement: yes
