The National Institute of Health, Eunice Kennedy Shriver - National Institute of Child Health & Human Development in support of the National Institute of Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) intends to award a purchase order without providing for full and open competition the acquisition of a laser Doppler imaging system. The project background is as follows: The moorLDI2 system is currently the only laser Doppler imaging system on the market suitable for noninvasive measurements of microcirculation in human arms allowing to study both endothelial-dependent and -independent components of microcirculation. In our currently submitted clinical protocol measurement of microcirculation is a very important clinical endpoint. This unique equipment can also be used for additional human or preclinical studies by other NIAAA investigators. The key unique features of this product are: • -Continuously scanning laser beam - this method patent protected (US Patent no. 5588437) • Near Infra-Red laser for superior signal/noise and depth of penetration. -Uniquely focused optics provide 100-micron pixel size and 256 x 256-pixel resolution -Unique iontophoresis protocol control when paired with Moor Instruments MIC2 Iontophoresis controller • Low frequency cut off 20, 100 or 250Hz, High frequency cut off 3KHz, 15KHz, 22.5KHz • Scan time for highest resolution scan is typically 5 minutes for any rectangle up to 25cm x 25cm This equipment is also compatible with Laser Speckle Contrast Imager moorFLPI-2 already available and widely used in Laboratory of Cardiovascular Physiology and Tissue Injury/NIAAA for small animal studies. Engineer shall set-up, install software and test the system. Provide comprehensive training for up to 3 delegates to cover safe and practical use of the system and data interpretation. The contractor shall also provide continued system support for the life of the system to include telephone, Skype, email, web-chat and additional training sessions at Moor Instruments UK headquarters. The manufacturer is Moor Instruments Inc., 501 Silveride Road Suite # 66. Wilmington, DE 19809. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) Code is 334516 with a size standard of 1000 employees.
