The Stem Cell Translation Laboratory (SCTL) is a state-of-the-art research facility within NCATS� Division of Pre-Clinical Innovation is dedicated to addressing the scientific and technological challenges in the iPSC field. Specifically, the SCTL aims to develop a renewable supply of human cell-based models focusing on new patient-derived iPSC lines. This request is for service contracts to cover one important instrument used for cellular imaging and ensure that they are always in operational status. Because these instruments are a key tool in our operation, it is necessary that it is operating correctly with as little down time as possible.� Parts and accessory items must be compatible with this existing equipment.� In the attempt to avoid excessive and costlier down time due to equipment failure we must use the services provided by this company.
