This will form part of the histology services offered by Birmingham Tissue Analytics (BTA), a University of Birmingham research facility. BTA already provides complex multi-parameter immuno-histochemical tissue imaging and spatial transcriptomic platforms academic, clinically focused, and industry-linked work streams. This spatial transcriptomics platform should build on the current capabilities of the facility, particularly with regards to the capability for high dimensional protein and gene expression analysis at subcellular analytical resolution. An ability to analyse tissue samples in a variety of formats would be desirable but it is essential to be able to work with Formalin Fixed Paraffin embedded materials in order to work with archived pathology samples. Furthermore, the platform should possess sufficient throughput to allow capacity for analysis of multiple slides per working day. It would be desirable for a data analysis package to be included with the platform which would be accessible to service users and intuitive for researchers to manage their own data analysis. This project may be funded by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) or; - European Structural and Investment Fund (ESIF) or; - Research Councils UK (RCUK), the strategic partnership of the UK's seven Research Councils. ## Lots (1) ### Lot 1: Untitled lot - **Lot id:** `1` - **Status:** complete - **Delivery regions:** UKG - **Description:** The University of Birmingham invites tenders for supply of an imaging platform capable of delivering spatial high parameter, multi-omic data in single cell resolution.
