II.1.4)Short description of the contract or purchase(s)
Tenders are invited for a high content electrophysiology platform. The system is required to have proven ability to record ion channel activity at physiological temperatures from cardiomyocytes derived from human embryonic and / or induced pluripotent stem cells. This will include calcium (ICa-L), sodium (INa) and potassium (at least IKr, if not others) channel activity. The system will have easy-to-use software that allows user-friendly adjustment of settings and interrogation of data sets. Ability to record in current clamp (action potentials) and voltage clamp is essential, as will be plotting I-V curves. The system will have the ability to work with low cell numbers (circa 10,000 / well) and will have capacity for at least 16 wells / chip, with minimum 3 runs (48 wells) per day. The system will form high quality seals (gigaseals) that last for up to 30 minutes to allow for automated drug addition and recording of phenotypic response.
