- Description
- The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute intends to negotiate on a noncompetitive basis with Coherent Laser Group, 5100 Patrick Henry Drive Santa Clara, CA. , 95054, to purchase an upgrade to government-owned Chameleon Laser. The Chameleon XR hands-free Ultrafast Ti-Sapphire laser, the upgrade package is required for continued production of two photons in vivo imaging over a wide range of wavelengths. The upgrade will extend the range of wavelengths and allow the lab to image more fluorescent probes than currently have been able to do. This upgrade will increase the productivity of two photons imaging. The purchase includes all material, installation as required, and trade-in of existing Chameleon Laser S/N 4937. Therefore Coherent Laser Group, who originally installed the equipment has the knowledge of the existing hardware and software that required to be upgraded. A change in the product would effect on going laboratory research and threaten the investment already made, and would not provide any cost savings to the Government.
