II.2.3) Place of performance
NUTS code: DK01 Hovedstaden
II.2.4) Description of the procurement:

The Core Facility for High Throughput Cell Based Screens (HTCBS) received funding to expand their screening capacities, thereby establishing Denmark’s first High Content CRISPR Screening (HCCS) Facility. The intended purchase includes an automation system for full integration of already existing instrumentation and new instrumentation, which allows the facility to continue on existing protocols while at the same time increasing capacity significantly.

Section IV: Procedure

IV.1) Description
IV.1.1) Type of procedure
Negotiated procedure without prior publication
  • The works, supplies or services can be provided only by a particular economic operator for the following reason:
    • absence of competition for technical reasons
Explanation:

The Core Facility for HTCBS has long-lasting experience on high content screening utilising in particular a high content microscope, InCell 2200 (Cytiva) for image analysis and an Echo 550 (Beckman) for tips-free, low-volume liquid transfer. Screening protocols are based on these instruments, which makes it crucial for the facility to integrate these existing instruments in the new automation setup. At the same time, expansion of the screening system is based on the existing technologies. Both integration of existing instrumentation and expansion based on established technologies and protocols are secured by the suggested ‘Advanced Workflow Engineering Solutions’ from molecular devices. The consortium of relevant companies within Danaher offers the unique possibility to not only purchase but also service the whole system through one supplier.

The following building blocks of the ‘Advanced Workflow Engineering Solutions’ are a of particular technological relevance for the facility:

— ImageXpress Confocal HT.ai High-Content Imaging System with a 7 laser illumination source, a 60 micron pinhole spinning disk, widefield and five objectives, two of them with water immersion (molecular devices). The performance of this microscope and capacities of the included image analysis software were validated on some of our main projects. In addition, molecular devices recently took over services from Cytiva, which means that we can seamlessly integrate the existing INCell2200 into the new system;

— Echo 525 (Beckman), which transfers 25 nl droplets instead of 2.5 nl as the existing Echo 550, thus increasing speed and flexibility, while still applying the same established technologies;

— Green Button Go automation software (Biosero), which is already established in a collaborating screening laboratory, i.e. the facility can build on existing experience.
