    Brief

    Trinity College Dublin seeks a cell culture compatible bioreactor platform for culturing 3D in vitro engineered cardiac muscle tissues. The system must deliver tunable electrical stimulation while enabling real-time tissue contraction monitoring. Key specifications include: monitoring capability up to 15 kHz; contractile force measurement sensitivity of 1 micro Newton; culture volumes of 50 microliters or less supporting up to 500,000 cells per engineered heart tissue (EHT); compatibility with 24-well plate format with scalability to 96 and 384-well formats through future upgrades. The platform must include user-friendly software enabling custom electrical stimulation and contraction force protocols programmable per column, with adjustable parameters including amplitude, voltage, pulse width, and stimulation duration to create twitch or tetanic muscle stimuli for tissue training. Suppliers should demonstrate expertise in electromechanical bioengineering, cell culture systems, and precision force measurement technology.
