01What is being requested
KGCN is looking for new equipment to replace current systems for automated chromosome preparation. The assignment includes two integrated steps: Chromosome Harvesting (harvesting and suspension of blood or bone marrow cells) and Chromosome Spreading (automatic preparation of microscopic glass slides).
With this consultation, KGCN wishes to gain more insight into the possibilities offered by current market to meet the needs for a suitable solution to support automated chromosome preparation, whether this could be realized as a 'off-the-shelf- solution or a unique custom solution. Furthermore, we want to gain further insight into the specs and performances of the potentially offered solutions.
02Strategic insight
Ensure that the proposed solution meets the minimum technical specifications for both the harvesting and the spreading phase, as these are described as essential. Emphasize the availability of European support and the possibility of on-site demonstrations. Provide a clear price indication including installation and training, and specify the expected delivery times with a view to delivery before the end of 2026.
