PART 1: INTRODUCTION

1. - Background Information

Since 1848 the University of Ottawa has been Canada’s university and the largest bilingual university in Canada. At the University of Ottawa, we understand our past and our desired future. The University of Ottawa is a major player in the cultural and economic development of the National Capital Region.

The University of Ottawa is one of Canada's leading research-intensive University. The University of Ottawa fosters excellence and success in research, whether the research is basic or applied, of intrinsic value or of commercial importance. The University of Ottawa considers itself to be Canada's university of the 21st Century by launching new initiatives in emerging areas, promoting collaboration within and across faculties, and providing the milieu in which creativity can flourish.

Further information regarding the University of Ottawa can be found on the Web site http://www.uottawa.ca/

We hereby invite your company (proponent) to partner with the University of Ottawa in this great project funded by the Canada Foundation for Innovation and the Ontario Research Fund by submitting an offer to this Request for Proposals and by including an in-kind contribution.

Please find attached the Request for Proposals documentation with specifications and the CFI guidelines pricing format to be completed and returned with your proposal.

1. - Statement of Requirements

1.2.1        The requested MEA is critical to evaluate the functional activity of neurons or other excitable cells. It consists of multiple electrodes arranged in a grid pattern, which can resolve electrical signals at the spatial level. This technology can be applied to monolayer cell cultures, organoids, tissue slices, and whole zebrafish.

                General Description:

1.2.2        The MEA must be capable of measuring the electrical transmission of both culture cells and slice tissue sections. This will allow for two main outputs. First, the MEA must allow for the recording of electrical transmission, which can be visualized spatially. Second, the MEA must allow for continuous monitoring of electrical transmission over time without damaging the cells in culture. The MEA should support multiple applications including the measurement of monolayer cell cultures, organoids, tissue slices, and zebrafish. The MEA should be applicable to multiple cell types, including neuronal, retinal, and cardiac cells.

                The instrument must have a minimum of 1000 electrodes within a sensor area. The instrument must be able to maintain a temperature of 37 oC and 5% CO2 to maintain cell viability or can be put in an incubator to maintain these conditions. The MEA must be compatible with other equipment, including a microfluidics perfusion system and tissue anchor system.

                The MEA instruments will be situated in a regular lab at the University of Ottawa.

1. 1. Specifications listed in Appendix A – Technical Specifications Compliance Form of this RFP are the mandatory minimum requirements for the Multi-electrode Array Instrument.

1. 1. Should any equipment included in a proposal be superseded by a newer model during the period between the award of contract and the delivery date, the successful Proponent will be required to inform the University of Ottawa of the new specifications, the newer model pricing will remain the same as what was offered in the RFP. At its sole discretion, the University of Ottawa may opt to make changes from the list of equipment by altering, adding, or deducting some equipment.
