    Brief

    This procurement seeks a modern plate imaging and analysis platform for laboratory use. The system must support current ELISpot workflows while providing capabilities for future expansion including multiplex FluoroSpot assays, FociSpot applications, and increased throughput to meet growing user demand. Key requirements include high reproducibility across multiple operators and robust performance for advanced assay formats, eliminating the need for additional or parallel systems as applications expand. Beyond basic spot enumeration, the platform must deliver reliable and consistent results. This is a two-stage tender process: Stage 1 involves technical submission evaluation, and Stage 2 includes equipment demonstration with scoring adjustments based on performance.
