Request for Tender for Histology Suite

Description

South East Technological University (SETU) is seeking to procure a suite of histology instruments to support research and development activities at its NanoBio Innovation Hub. The primary objective of this acquisition is to enable the preparation, embedding, and sectioning of tissue samples for advanced research in drug delivery, with a focus on nanoparticles, liposomes, lipid nanoparticles, and related formulations. The suite is intended to provide precise, reproducible, and high-throughput processing of tissue specimens, supporting the investigation of drug candidates and delivery systems, including nanomedicine, biotechnology, and pharmaceutical research. The system should offer integrated features that promote efficiency, ergonomic operation, safety, digital connectivity, and scalability for both laboratory and translational research activities. The aim is to have all equipment delivered, installed, and fully operational by November 30, 2025.
