SCHEDULE: The Rocky Mountain Laboratories, (RML), has been charged with performing basic research contributing to the development of diagnostic reagents, therapeutics and vaccines against human bacterial pathogens. The RML has a need to purchase an in vivo biophotonic imaging system, which will assist in achieving those goals. This system shall have an integrated system design incorporating multiple components and features, be highly automated, and be optimized for both fluorescence and bioluminescence imaging. The in vivo biophotonic imaging system shall have an integrated design that incorporates computer controls or interface with chamber, cooling system and the high resolution CCD camera. There shall be a graphical user interface (U.S. Patent No. 6,614,452) for detection, quantification, analysis and storage of images. The in vivo biophotonic imaging system shall be automated with imaging parameters, hardware motor control, and image analysis controlled by state of the art software. The in vivo biophotonic imaging system shall feature a one inch thick square back-thinned, back illuminated Grade 1(one) CCD chip cooled to an operating temperature of -90C. The in vivo biophotonic imaging system shall be optimized for both bioluminescence and fluorescence imaging (U.S. Patent No. 6,894,289 and U.S. Patent No. 6,922,246). The fluorescence feature shall include a 12(twelve) position excitation filter wheel and an 8(eight) position emission filter wheel with 4(four) standard filter sets. Animal housing and imaging chamber (U.S. Patent No. 6,775,567 and U.S. Patent No. 6,901,279) shall be controlled through a computer-assisted adjustable stage that is also heated to prevent shock in the anesthetized animal. The in vivo biophotonic imaging system shall have a calibration device (U.S. Patent No. 6,919,919) for determination and calibration of absolute photon intensity for standardized measurements from experiment to experiment. The in vivo biophotonic imaging system shall be delivered to RML, and installed 3(three) weeks from award of the purchase order to the contractor. FOB Point shall be Destination, Hamilton, MT. Delivery location is Rocky Mountain Laboratories, 903 S. 4th Street, Hamilton, MT.
