    Brief

    University College Dublin (UCD) seeks qualified suppliers to provide an automated histology slide staining and coverslipping system. The system must deliver complete automation of the staining workflow—from initial slide preparation through drying to final glass coverslipping—without requiring operator intervention or manual handling between stages. The equipment must produce consistently high-quality stained microscope slides suitable for routine histological analysis, whole-slide digital imaging, and AI-assisted image analysis in a high-throughput research laboratory environment. Successful tenderers must supply, deliver, install, commission, and provide ongoing support for the system. Responses must address all specification requirements and clearly demonstrate compliance with each mandatory criterion.
