The University awarded a contract for Confocal Microscope.
This is for purchase of a high-content spinning disk confocal microscope (including lasers, objectives) and image analysis software.
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)) The microscope is essential for the completion of funded research project (R01 AG061114-06). The current microscope no longer functions.
