    Brief

    Dublin City University (DCU) seeks a supplier to provide, deliver, install, commission, and calibrate a Correlative Optical Tweezers-Fluorescence System. This advanced research instrument combines optical tweezers technology with fluorescence microscopy to enable simultaneous force measurements and visual analysis of biomolecular interactions. The system will be used to study how small molecules interact with macromolecular substrates such as nucleic acids, peptides, and lipids, measuring molecular forces to determine stability and conformation while confirming conformational changes and binding events through microscopy. The equipment will support DCU's research initiatives in therapeutic development and structural biology. Suppliers should have expertise in optical and precision instrumentation, with proven capability in system integration, installation, commissioning, and calibration services.
