Description
ATU seeks the supply, delivery, installation, commissioning, validation and user training of an advanced automated biofabrication platform for research and educational applications in tissue engineering, regenerative medicine, organoid development, 3D cell culture and related biomedical research. The proposed system must provide an integrated and automated platform capable of supporting advanced 3D biofabrication workflows, including bioprinting, liquid handling, robotic manipulation, automated sample handling and biological assay preparation within a single coordinated system. The system will be used in a multidisciplinary research environment involving academic researchers, postgraduate students and industry collaborators.
The equipment must therefore be suitable for intensive research usage, support reproducible workflows, and operate reliably within a laboratory environment compliant with biological research standards.
