The University awarded a contract for FV3000 ConFocal-0217 Fluoview Laser Microscope.
The purchase of one FV3000 ConFocal-0217 Fluoview Laser scanning Confocal microscope.
This purchase is exempt from the usual selection processes of the Procurement Code because the procurement expenditure is for performing sponsored research and other sponsored activities under grants and contracts funded by the sponsor or by sources other than State appropriations. (30 ILCS 500 / 1-13(b)(8)) U.S. Department of Education provided a grant to NEIU to perform sponsored research. The grant allocated funds for the purchase of Biomedical Research Equipment. A main factor necessitating this equipment is the ability to generate data using "publication quality" images which will allow our students to publish their research in scientific journals.
