New clarification added: The specification for Microscope (LOT-4) is not completely clear. It says fully automated multi channel acquisition. Does this mean they want fluorescence?If so, what excitation wavelengths are required?Do they want camera and software as this is not in the spec and it does not make sense to have automated image acquisition but no camera.∙Your question might be for Lot 3 item 3.6 -Plan objective trinocular microscope, instead of ‘’Lot 4’’The technical requirements as written in this ITB include: - ‘’Illumination: LED system with adjustable intensity, ∙ Lamp Lifespan: more than 25,000 h’’- ‘’Full automated multi channel acquisition & Efficient image capture’’ means with Camera & ‘’Delivered with all necessary accessories for proper operation’’. So at least Camera & Software are included.

New clarification added: Can you clarify if ISO13485 certificate is mandatory for all these equipment? Because as we know some of them are not medical equipment, such as the water bath, we have no ISO13485 for it. Extend in meaning, is it acceptable for Non-medical purpose equipment without ISO13485 certificate? The water bath here is medical laboratory equipment. The ISO 13485 standard is mandatory for this equipment as well as for all other equipment listed in this ITB
