DESCRIPTION OF PROCUREMENT
The University is conducting an RFP for Preclinical Ocular Imaging System
The University of Toronto, with support from the Canadian Foundation for Innovation John R. Evans Leaders Fund and the Ontario Research Fund Infrastructure Grants, is looking to purchase a preclinical ocular imaging system for the accurate imaging of mouse eyes in vivo. A key requirement for this acquisition will be the capability to image the fundus in brightfield and fluorescence channels along with optical coherence tomography (OCT) and image-guided laser treatment in a single system. This will provide more information in the generation and analysis of eye disease models. The instrument will be managed by the Leslie Dan Faculty of Pharmacy and located in The Centre for Phenogenomics, which is located at the University of Toronto, St. George campus.
The procurement is anticipated to involve negotiation. An electronic auction is not anticipated.
