Procedure rationaleThis procurement is being undertaken via a single-source route due to the unique technical capabilities of the C-Trap® Dymo 400 and the exclusive rights held by its manufacturer, LUMICKS B.V. the unique elements of this are: • Multi-trap continuous-wave optical tweezers, • Multi-colour confocal fluorescence microscopy, and • Multi-channel laminar flow microfluidics. These technologies are protected by several granted patents, including: US9952421, EP3256254B1 (optical traps), US9766180, EP3004848B1 (fluorescence imaging), S11156513B2 (optical force measurement) and EP3737756B1 (DNA supercoiling). No other commercially available instrument can provide simultaneous, correlated forcedistance-fluorescence measurements with the required resolution and sensitivity. Key performance features exclusive to the C-Trap include: • Force resolution 0.1 pN and drift stability 0.3 pN over 2 minutes • Confocal localisation precision 15 nm • Real-time imaging of single molecules under physiological flow conditions • Escape force 1000 pN, allowing for broad biological applicability • Integrated hardware/software for fast setup and automated experimental workflows. Additionally, the system includes a complete service and application support package, exclusive training kits, and proprietary components that are not available from any other provider
